Help is on the way for renters and homeowners
Jordan Bowen reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - For residents living in the city of St. Petersburg, officials will begin penalizing people for late payments.
Non-payment feeds and shutoffs were suspended since March due to COVID-19, but the grace period is over. People who haven't paid their utility bills will face those late feeds starting Monday, July 20.
On Friday, the city will begin sending out termination notices. If residents haven't paid by August 3, city officials said their service will be shut off.
For those who cannot pay their bills, city officials say there are a few options. This includes an extended payment arrangement, which allows customers to pay their current monthly bill, along with a series of six monthly installments on a delinquent balance.
