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.
