Electric City raises late fee to $25 and adds $15 monthly reconnection charge for shutoff customers
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-09 to increase the delinquent utility bill late fee from $15 to $25 and to assess a $15 monthly service charge for customers whose water is shut off but remain attached to the system.
The council approved Resolution 2025‑09 amending water-rate ancillary charges. The resolution increases the delinquent utility-bill late fee from $15 to $25 and establishes a $15 monthly service charge for water customers whose service is turned off but who remain connected to the system.
Councilmembers discussed the language and voted to approve the change by consensus; the minutes do not include a fiscal projection or estimate of how many customers the monthly charge will affect. Staff were tasked implicitly with applying the new fees in billing systems and notifying affected customers.
