The City of Bartlesville will resume disconnecting utility service for non-payment beginning July 1, CFO/City Clerk Jason Muninger said this week.
The City had suspended utility cut-offs during the Covid-19 pandemic in an effort to help those who faced financial hardships because of the nationwide shut-down.
“However, as we have reopened City facilities and moved our restrictions to align with Gov. (Kevin) Stitt’s Open Up and Recover Safely plan, this program is being discontinued and utility disconnections for non-payment are being resumed,” Muninger said.
Payment arrangements
The City will offer payment plans to those who need a little time to catch up, Muninger said.
“We understand this could create difficulties for some residents. We will do our best to work with anyone who needs to make payment arrangements,” Muninger said. “They just need to contact us as soon as possible, and certainly prior to their disconnection date, to set up a plan.”
