Payment
The applicant agrees to pay monthly for the utility services rendered by the City of St. George. Services generally include electric, water, sewer, garbage and recycling. Charges for services will be made at the regular established rates for the class of service applicable to the applicant. It is the applicant's responsibility to review the monthly bills for accuracy and notify the City of any concerns. A fee will be charged on return payments per the City rate schedule.
Delinquency
Payment for services is due immediately upon billing and shall become delinquent if not paid by the due date reflected on such billing. A late charge of 5% per month of the unpaid balance will be added to delinquent accounts. The applicant agrees to pay reasonable expenses of collection including collection agency fees, attorney's fees, interest fees, and court costs should it become necessary to use such measures to collect the charges made to the applicant's account. The City shall charge a processing fee when a shut off notice is sent to the applicant per the City rate schedule. The City shall terminate service on delinquent accounts not paid after notice. In order to restore service, the applicants must bring current all delinquent charges. In addition, the City will charge a reconnection fee.
Security Deposit
The applicant is required to pay a deposit if they are not the owner of the property served. Interest will be paid on the deposit at the rate set by the City Council. It is agreed by the applicant that the deposit is not considered as prepayment of any bill. Unpaid accounts will be considered delinquent notwithstanding the existence of a security deposit. The City may apply the amount of the security deposit (including interest earned) to the applicant's final bill and any balance remaining will be refunded to the applicant.
Reasonable Access
The applicant shall permit the City's authorized representatives to enter onto the applicant's premises at all reasonable times for purposes connected with rendering, billing, or disconnecting utility services. Services may be terminated if reasonable access is not permitted.
