  • Investigate complaints (including bill disputes, verifying meter reads, sanitation/trash).
  • Prepare requests for services.
  • Process utility bills (we have 3 billing cycles and two due dates.  Net amount due dates are the thirteenth and twenty-fourth of each month. Cut-off dates are the 23rd by 4:30pm (if net amount is due on the 13th) and 3rd of each month by 4:30pm (if net amount is due on the 24th).
  • Maintain a gas/water meter change-out program (meters should be replaced each decade or sooner if we discover a damaged meter or 1,000,000 gallons of water and 1,000,000 cubic feet of gas have gone through the meter, whichever comes first).
  • Process applications and collect deposits for services (including turn-on/turn-off and transferring services at existing locations).  A $25.00 service charge is required when services are turned on.
