We hate to do it, but if you aren’t paying your bill, we can’t continue to provide you with service.  You will receive a notice on your bill if your account has a balance that is two months past due – called “delinquent.”    The notice of scheduled disconnection triggers an additional deposit, if you don’t already have a full two month average billing as a deposit.  The notice also gives you a date you need to make at least the minimum payment by, in order to avoid receiving a shut-off notice delivered to your door.  This notice of scheduled disconnection also includes the disconnect date.   If a shut-off notice is issued, the cost of this notice is $18.00. 

A last ditch phone call will be attempted the day prior to disconnection.  If you do not respond with adequate payment   arrangements, your account will be disconnected.  Reconnection will cost $25.00 if adequate payment is received before 4:00 p.m. and will cost $50.00 if paid later than that in the day. 

Disconnection is also possible during the winter months.  There is no law prohibiting disconnection of service in Alaska.  AELP is also required by law to notify landlords or other property owners of the potential of service disconnection and offer them the right to assume responsibility for the service.
