Several people have complained that they either did not receive their water bill or they received it very late. Here is what you should know.

All water bills are mailed on the first day of the month, except when the first is on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday. Then it is mailed on the first business day thereafter.

We do not control the U S Postal Service, nor can we answer questions regarding 'no deliver or slow delivery.'

Please direct all calls about slow and no mail to the U S Postal Service.

A computer glitch occurred last month. This cause 6 account payments to be credited to January 4, 2030.

So the computer sent out water bills that didn't recognize that the payment for January was made. If your received a bill that does not show that you paid last month, and you did pay, please know that we have discovered the error and have corrected it. If you want, you can call 318-542-2370 and I will verify that your account was corrected

We apologize for the inconvenience

We are finally able to read meters today. The ice storm, no electricity at the office and work scheduling conflicts with the operator are the cause of the delay.

We depend on workers who have full time jobs and are willing to work for the water system, on a part time basis, for 'very little money.'

For the above reasons your water bill which ordinarily reflects a billing cycle of 30 or 31 days will have 37 days of water consumption on it. To make matters worse the ice storm had people allowing their faucet to drip consuming even more water.

Your bill will be higher. There is nothing we can do about it. We just want you to be aware of the reasons for your bill.

The bright side is that the bill you receive in March will have 7 less days than normal and will be smaller than usual.

Thanks

Atlanta Water System.

BITTERLY COLD WEATHER STARTS TONIGHT!

Today is your last chance to insulate pipes and faucets. Burst pipes means High Water Bills. We are NOT allowed, within the bylaws, to forgive water bills. If you get cut off, you stay cutoff until bill is paid.

PLEASE, do yourself a favor and insulate your pipes and faucets.

We mailed all the Water Bills on Friday the 2nd of January. At least 8 customers have called and reported not receiving their bill.

This has been a problem for some time and is getting worse. Some time this year we will transition to an email type of billing.

The program we are looking at will send an email bill. You will be able to pay online and look at your bill online.

Get ready, it's coming!

Swyft got into another waterline on 1228. Water had been shut off until repaired. It will be most of day as we had to go out of town for parts.
