For the past several months, there has been an issue with electric bills that are mailed not being delivered or arriving late to residents. Please be aware the bills go to Harrisburg and back because they are bulk mail. They do not come from Catawissa’s local Post Office.
If residents do not receive their bill by the seventh of the month, call the Borough Hall at 570-356-2561, and we will prepare a replacement bill. The Borough is not waiving late penalties for bills due to issues with mailed bills.
The Borough also offers options to customers to have bills sent electronically each month to an email account, instead of through the mail, as well as ACH payments, ACH payments will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the 15th of the each month.
The ACH Form can be found under the Forms menu. Please fill out and return to the Borough Hall with a voided check.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing. We are all at the mercy of the postal service.
