     CITY OF BURLINGTON DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

DELINQUENT UTILITY PROCESSING

City of Burlington wants our utility customers to understand how delinquent utility accounts are handled in a consistent manner to be fair to our rate payers.

All utility bills are due by the 10th of each month.  When a customer is late paying his/her bill, a Final Notice is mailed with the following statement on it:  Dear Customer:  Please check your records for payment.  If this bill is not paid on or before the above shut-off date, service will be disconnected.

Customers have the right to request a hearing before the City Clerk regarding this billing, providing the request is made to the City Clerk no later than three working days prior to the above termination date.  If service is disconnected, there is an additional $100.00 charge per meter if reconnected between 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, and $125.00 for reconnection at any other time.

When the City determines the customer has no intention of paying the utility bill, City of Burlington will send it to the State of Kansas Set-off Program for collection through attaching income tax refunds or other means at their disposal.

City of Burlington tries to work with customers who are having a difficult time and cannot pay their utility bill.  If you are having a difficult time and cannot pay your utility bill, please contact the City Hall before the disconnection date to make payment arrangements and avoid additional charges.
