HUTCHINSON, Kan. — When the city of Hutchinson ended the suspension of service cutoffs for unpaid utilities June 1, the city was owed more than $82,000. But residents are paying the back-utility bills and catching up again.
As of this morning, the city was down to $14,910 worth of outstanding bills. There are only 135 active accounts over 30 days past due and that represents $14,764 of the total outstanding balance.
Nicole Martinez, utility billing manager for the city, says they have had a great response to the extended payment plans and continue to encourage citizens to reach out for payment options to avoid disconnection and additional fees.
