Here is a summary of the modifications for all Utilities Customers in effect for the next 60 days: (1) The $2.75 convenience fee charged by credit card companies is being credited back to the customer’s account. (2) The City will not disconnect a customer’s water, sewer or electric service for nonpayment. (3) Late fees and interest for nonpayments are being waived.
