Water shut off has been suspended since March. There were 241 customers on the shut off list, which includes both water and SandyNet customers. The total past due amount is approximately $75,000. We will continue to suspend shut offs for the time being, but we are still billing as usual. Late notices continue to be sent as a reminder to customers of their balances owed. Staff is working with customers on payment arrangements, and are encouraging increased communication between customers and staff.

Initial appearances are still discontinued for municipal court. Staff is mailing letters to all defendants to notify them of the payment options available. Trials are being conducted in person, and we are exploring options for virtual trials. Staff is encouraging defendants to communicate with the Court regularly, and we are hopeful that defendants continue to utilize our multiple payment options to pay their fines.

Monthly reimbursement requests are allowed through the end of the calendar year.
