Summit Utilities Announces Fees will Resume for Oklahoma Customers
If you're a natural gas customer in Southwest Oklahoma, you know the transition from CenterPoint Energy to our new utility supplier--Summit Utilities--has been a work in progress for 18 months or so.
Last November when Summit started to collect their own payments since the odds of growing pains on a new system were expected, Summit temporarily suspended late payment fees and gas disconnects until they could work out all of the kinks... That time has come and will soon be gone.
In an email that went out to Summit customers this week, they announced that late payment fees and service disconnect due to non-payment will resume in July of this year.
Since natural gas was so expensive this past winter, Summit is asking anyone that is having trouble catching up on their bill to reach out to them before service either get interrupted or a myriad of fees gets tacked on. They're more than willing to help set up a payment plan to ensure you don't lose service when penalties resume in July.
If this sounds like something you need to do, here is the link with all of the information on Summit's payment and assistance programs.
