Utility disconnections shall occur throughout the year for all households, except for Life/Medical Support Program situations. During the winter months (December-February), the city will postpone a non-pay disconnection when the temperature is below and remains below 10 degrees for a 24-hour period.
The City of Piqua offers an Electric Level Billing Option to residential customers. The plan is designed so customers can pay the electric portion of their bill in 12 equal monthly amounts rather than experience the seasonal fluctuations of normal billing. The 12 equal payments are based on the past electric meter history. Although the amount to be paid each month remains the same for the electric, actual charges are calculated monthly and any difference between the amount paid and the amount charged becomes a deferred balance to be paid each September. A settle-up process occurs once each year in September and any deferred balances are applied to the account. This amount is also used in the calculation of the level payment amount for the next year. The customer will then automatically be started on Level Billing in October unless they request to be removed from the program. Eligible accounts may be placed in Level Billing from September – March of each year.
Any residential utility customer may apply for the plan, from September to March, providing they have lived at the current residence for one year and their account does not contain any arrears. Level Billing amounts must be paid monthly. Failure to pay the level amount each month by the due date will result in termination of participation in the Level Billing program. Customers may apply for Level Billing by contacting the Utility Billing Office. Utility Hardship Extension Application
The City of Piqua may provide a short-term payment arrangement extension to utility customers that qualify in certain non-recurring hardship circumstances. Customer eligibility will be based on a completed application and provided documentation. Only after exhausting all options thru the utility office may a customer complete a form to be reviewed by the City Manager or his designee. If approved, a one-time extension will be granted. Applications must be completed and returned to the Utility Billing Office at least 3 days prior to the disconnection date to qualify for a current shutoff date. Failure to fully complete the application process will result in the disconnection of your utilities on the given shutoff date. Applications may be obtained in the Utility Business Office upon request.
The City of Piqua provides a waiver for wastewater costs to customers on an annual basis for permanent swimming pools during the months of May through September. Customers applying must complete an application form each year for waiver approval. Applications can be obtained from the Piqua Utility Billing Office. Upon completion of the application, an inspection will be made to verify the pool at the identified property and the size of the pool. Customers with an outstanding city account will not be eligible for the Pool Waiver Credit.
