Utility Billing Customer Service Account Specialist’s goal is to process all complete applications within 2 working days. (Complete are those with the application, letter of credit** and copy of driver’s license.) We will make every attempt to contact you if your application is for any reason incomplete or a deposit* is still required within 2 working days of submission.

Should service need to be established before an Account Specialist has contacted you, or if you have not been contacted within 2 working days we encourage you to make contact with Utility Billing at 682-205-1777 option 7.

New Service Applications that are not completed or no deposit has been paid are kept on file for only 10 working days from date of submission. Should the customer not fulfill the application requirements within 10 days, the application will need to be re-submitted.
