Restoration of Electrical Services

RESTORATION OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE

Once service has been discontinued, the City shall restore service promptly upon a customer’s request when the cause for discontinuance has been cured or all money owed on an account has been paid in full.

Every effort will be made to restore service the day such is requested. In any event, restoration shall be made no later than the end of the first business day following the request for restoration.

The City will charge the customer a $50.00 fee during normal business hours for the Hart Energy Department for restoring service and $125.00 during all other hours to cover the cost of restoring service. This fee will be increased by $10.00 per occurrence for all additional times a service is restored after the first occurrence. This $10.00 fee provision shall not apply to voluntary discontinuance.

If the service requires disconnection at the pole the following charges will apply:

Normal Business Hours Reconnect $110.00
After Hours Reconnect $165.00

If disconnect/non-payment account is paid after 5 pm service will not be restored until the NEXT BUSINESS DAY.

Help Keep Our Sewer Lines Running Clear.

Now that more people are staying home and using more toilet paper, disinfecting wipes, baby wipes, etc.; we at the City of Hart would like to remind you that even though the packaging may say flushable that doesn't mean it should be flushed down the toilet. The only item that you should be flushing down your toilet is toilet paper. None of those other items will biodegrade in the wastewater system and the very germs and other materials that you are trying to dispose of you will be exposing City employees to when they must clear the blocked sewer lines from those items.

These are just a couple of examples of how those items block the mains and can cause big problems in your home.
