Service Charges

The Florida Public Service Commission allows us to charge for certain services, which are only applied if you use the service or if you default on a payment. Charges include:

• A service charge of $13.00 to open an account at a new construction premise, and a service charge of $9.00 to transfer, open or reopen an account at an existing premise.
• A field collection charge of $26.00 is charged when a field visit is made and payment is collected on a delinquent account.
• A late payment charge, the greater of $5 or 1.5%, is applied to any past-due unpaid balance of accounts.
• A reconnect charge of $5.00 is charged for reconnection of service after disconnection for nonpayment.
• A returned payment charge, equal to $25.00 for payments of $50.00 or less, $30.00 for payments of $50.01-$300.00, $40 for payments of $300.01-$800.00, and 5% for payments greater than $800.00.
