The day after bills are due, we will mail all customers with a balance a disconnect notice. On the notice, you will be given a date and time to which your balance will need to be paid by.
If we do not receive the balance paid in full by the deadline, your account will be closed at 11:00am on said date and services will be disconnected. An account reactivation fee will be due in addition to any remaining balance before your account becomes active.
*Even if services have not yet been disconnected, the account reactivation fee is still due.* On disconnect day, our staff is on duty until 4:00pm to restore service to those who pay. After the disconnect day, reconnections only occur between the hours of 8:00am to 2:30pm on Monday through Friday. We will not reconnect services on the weekends.
