The clock is ticking on Mt. Carmel water customers who have taken advantage of the city’s moratorium on disconnections and late fees. City crews will begin shutoffs next week on those with delinquent bills of two months or more.
At last check, City Inspector Mike Gidcumb said there were 787 past due water accounts with 217 of those subject to disconnection next week. The total amount of the past due water bills owed to the city was more than $87,600.
If your water is disconnected, there is a $25 re-connection fee once the outstanding bill is paid.
