AS COLDER WEATHER SETS IN, MANY MAY BE WORRIED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR GAS BILLS THIS WINTER. NO WORRIES. THE COLD WEATHER RULE, DESIGNED TO HELP KANSANS WHO ARE BEHIND IN THEIR UTILITY PAYMENTS DURING THE WINTER, BEGINS ON TUESDAY. KOFO’S JEFF BREWER HAS MORE ON THE RULE:
PAYMENT PLAN TERMS TO MAINTAIN OR RESTORE SERVICE REQUIRE THAT CUSTOMERS AGREE TO PAY 1/12TH OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OWED, 1/12TH OF THE CURRENT BILL, THE FULL AMOUNT OF ANY DISCONNECTION OR RECONNECTION FEE, PLUS ANY APPLICABLE DEPOSIT TO THE UTILITY. THE REMAINING BALANCE MUST BE PAID IN EQUAL PAYMENTS OVER THE NEXT 11 MONTHS, IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT MONTHLY BILL.
