Accounts with past due balances greater than $50.00 are subject to disconnection within 25 days from the due date. The full past due amount must be paid before service restoration occurs. Payment should also include any Delinquency or After-Hour fees that apply. Guaranteed funds or other required payment types may be required depending on payment history. During extraordinary circumstance and at the customer’s request, a payment plan may be arranged through the Customer Service Department, during normal business hours (8:00am-5:00pm), Monday through Friday. Pay arrangements are at the discretion of the Authority based on existing policies and the customer’s account history and typically do not exceed a six-month period.

Payments processed for the full past-due amount will automatically initiate a work order to restore service.
