LETTER WAS REC'D. FROM MS. THRASHER REQUESTING THAT CBU ALLOW MORE MONTHS DURING WHICH CREDIT IS ALLOWED FOR WATERING LAWNS.
Ms. Pitcher is upset that she has been billed $75 for water usage in the last month. She said she is a single woman, and could never use that much water in a month! She said she did water her lawn/flowers in September, because it was still warm enough. She said she spoke w/ Utilities, and they told her the Utilities Board could extend the Summer Water program, and did not.
Mrs. Soni called the Utilities dept. regarding her water bill, to see if they wld. change her billing cycle to read DUE ON ____ (anytime during the 1st week of every mo.). Currently, she receives a bill that is due on the 26th of every mo. She wld. like it changed so her checks won't "cross" the billy cycle, and also so she won't receive a DISCONNECT NOTICE every mo. She says, " It's counterproductive, really." The Utilities dept. says they will NOT change her billing cycle-she's not happy.
MR. MILLMAN WROTE LETTER STATING THAT HE DID NOT RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK UNTIL AFTER THE 1ST OF EACH MONTH. HIS UTILITY BILL IS DUE ON THE 26TH. HE REQUESTED THAT HIS DUE DATE BE CHANGED BECAUSE IT IS NECESSARY THAT HE PAY DELINQUENT FEES EACH MONTH.
