A visitor request addressed was from Mr. Don McWhorter, Meter #25800, related to the disconnection/reconnection fee for his meter which is currently off and locked due to nonpayment. Karen Dunn explained her phone conversation with Mr. McWhorter in which he requested the Board waive the $100.00 fee upon full payment of the balance due on his account. The Board reviewed and discussed circumstances related to his request and agreed that precedence needed be set in this situation. It was agreed that the $100.00 disconnect/reconnect fee not be waived; however, upon full payment of the balance on the account, Mr. McWhorter would be allowed up to 5 months to pay the fee in the amount of $20.00 per month.
Related to the recent situation of an unrecorded payment for Meter #05900, William Baggett, the following procedure was discussed: If a customer declares they made a payment of which the District has no record, the customer must produce a copy of the check (both front and back).
