Watch that utility bill
Sunday night, which was the 14th, I got out the checkbook so I could pay the water bill, which is always due on the 17th.
Except this month, when it was due on the 15th. Obviously I’m not going to be mailing in a check Monday morning if it’s due that same day.
So I used the city’s online-payment service that evening; they sent me an email receipt the next morning, which is all very well and good. By then I’d already circulated a warning to the neighborhood, since we’re all on the same billing cycle.
But was it just us? I asked around over the next couple of days, and of those who’d recently received a bill, yes, they’d had two days shaved off their due date.
So if you’re on Oklahoma City utility billing, you might want to take a look at your bill. And I wonder if this has anything to do with the arrival of the $3.65 billing for TotalCare ambulance service in October.
