Service Disconnection for Non-Payment

If this bill shows a past due balance, it must be paid by the due date listed on the front of this bill to avoid your service being disconnected and an administrative charge applied to your account. If you are unable to pay the past due amount in full by the due date, it is your responsibility to make arrangements for payment with our office. All past due balances are subject to shut off regardless of the due date for current charges.

If disconnected, the entire delinquent balance plus the administrative charge must be paid by 3 p.m. for same day reconnection. If you pay via online web payment or through the automated phone system after disconnection, please call Customer Service by 3 p.m. to schedule same day reconnection. If notification is not received by 3 p.m., service will remain off overnight. If reconnection is requested after 3 p.m., payment of an overtime fee will be required.

Late Payments: For all accounts, a late payment charge of $5 or 10%, whichever is greater, will be charged on the delinquent balance. You will be subject to the late payment charge even if payment arrangements have been made.

Certification: Delinquent Accounts will be certified to the Wood County Auditor and placed on the real estate taxes as a lien against the property.

Estimated Bills: If there is an “E” beside your current meter reading on the front of the bill, this means your usage has been estimated. Please contact Customer Service at (877) 354-9090, option 2, to schedule a time for your reading device to be serviced.
