PREAUTHORIZATION CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT POLICY
The El Oso Water Supply Corporation Board of Directors hereby adopts the service of credit or debit cards as an optional or automatic payment method for monthly water bills.
Debit card payment must be made in person at the El Oso WSC Business Office during normal business hours. Debit cards may not be used to establish an automatic payment program.
Members or Customers choosing to participate in the Automatic Credit Card Service will continue to receive a monthly water bill, except “CREDIT CARD PD” will appear on the bill.
Water bills will be mailed to all Members or Customers on or before the 30th of the month and bills are due on 15th of the following month. The automatic credit card payments will be applied to the Member’s or Customer’s credit card up to 3 working days prior to the due date and will be posted to the Member’s or Customer’s water account.
Members or Customers participating in this automatic credit card service will need to examine their monthly water bill prior to the billed amount being charged to their credit card as stated above. If the amount being billed is in question, the Member or Customer must contact the office to check questionable amounts prior to the billed amount being charged to their credit card as explained in paragraph 3 above.
Members or Customers requesting this service of automatic payment program must complete the “Authorization Agreement for Preauthorized Credit card Payments” form prior to initiating payment via a credit card. This form bearing an original/verified signature of the cardholder will be kept on file at the Business Office. A new form must be filled out anytime changes are made. The forms may be obtained in the office during office hours. [Note that the validity of this form/agreement will expire concurrently with the expiration of the credit card and therefore must be kept current at all times by the participant].
A declined charge for a preauthorized credit card charge will result in El Oso Water Supply Corporation treating the account as delinquent, and the requirement of the Water Tariff, Section E, Service Rules and Regulations, paragraph 15, Rules for disconnection of Service shall apply. In addition to the immediate suspension of automatic credit card payment and to avoid disconnection of water service, the past due amount, subsequent penalties, along with a $50 service charge must be paid prior t o the established cut-off day.
*Participants are encouraged to regularly review their credit card expiration dates, etc. to avoid a declined charge. El Oso Water Supply Corporation will not assume responsibility for reminding participants of pending card expiration.
ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE EL OSO WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION AT THEIR REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING ON APRIL 9, 2002.
