BILLING
The City Office processes all the
utility billing. Meters are read on the 15th and the utility bills are mailed
out on the last working day of the month. Payment is due on the 15th of the
following month.
If payment is not received by the 15th, a penalty amount of 10%
will be assessed. If there is no payment on the account by the last working day
of the month, the utility services may be disconnected until the past due amount
is paid. A $25.00 reconnect fee per meter disconnected will be charged.
The City of Hugoton is not governed by the Kansas Corporation Commission's
shutoff rules.
NEW ACCOUNTS
The City requires a deposit to secure payment prior to
service on all new accounts. After twelve consecutive months of payments with no
penalties, the deposit is credited to the customer's account. These deposits
earn interest according to K.S.A. 12-822 and authorized by the Kansas
Corporation Commission.
