The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) will begin its November disconnection exercise on Monday, November 16, targeting accounts with balances that are 30 days or more past due.

In a public notice, the authority said the exercise will run through November 30 and urged customers with overdue balances to pay as soon as possible. Customers who need a payment arrangement should visit APUA’s Credit Control Department in person to discuss their options.

Customers can check their balance by calling APUA Customer Service at 480-7150. They can also view their account information and make payments through the APUA Online Portal. APUA website

APUA said customers whose service has been disconnected may have to wait one to two business days for reconnection after payment.

The authority also reminded domestic customers that they can receive a 10 per cent discount by paying their current month’s bill in full before the due date printed on the bill.
