New services need to be set up in the office at 117 S. Main.
Requests must be received before 2:00 pm on the day of the requested service for utilities to be connected the following day. If the time frame is not met, services will be turned on the next business day.
All new services will require a security deposit up front before services will be turned on. Please contact the Utilities Office at 660-248-2214 to get your location’s deposit. Deposits can only be paid in cash, check, or money order. Credit cards can not be accepted as deposit payment.
Customers will need to fill out a Disconnect form for their current residence, and a new service connect form for the location moving to.
Customers should contact the office by 2:00 pm the day of transfer to have the services transferred that day. If the time frame is not met, services will be turned on the next business day.
The deposits paid on the old account will be transferred over to the new account unless the new service location’s deposit is higher; then the difference would need to be paid prior to transfer.
Customers will need to fill out a Disconnect form and provide a forwarding address. It is the customer’s responsibility to know if services are to be disconnected or to be read and left on to a landlord. (Renters – please contact your landlord prior to filling out the disconnect notice.)
Deposits will be applied to the final bill. Any amount left over will be sent to the customer via check or can be picked up if preferred.
Utility bills are mailed on the last day of each month to all customers unless other arrangements such as e-statements have been set up, which will be emailed a day prior to mailing. It will be the responsibility of the customer to make arrangements for paying for services rendered. All accounts are due and payable by the fifteenth (15th) of the month, unless the 15th falls on a weekend or a holiday, of each month, without penalty. On the 16th of each month, any account remaining unpaid is considered delinquent, and a penalty of 10% will be added.
Customers can make payments:
**Please do not use the website Doxo for payments, as it takes up to 3 weeks for us to receive and could make your account delinquent.**
If all utility charges are not paid by the 21st, all utilities are subject to disconnection. If the 21st is on a Friday or a holiday, then utilities will be shut off on the following business day. The customer may be reconnected as soon as all charges are paid, plus a reconnection charge of $35.00.
