Customer Termination of Level Pay Plan: The customer may choose to terminate participation in the
Level Pay Plan at any time by submitting a dis-enrollment form to the City's customer service
department. At the next billing cycle the customer's account will be placed on regular monthly billing.
The difference between the actual monthly utility costs and the Level Pay Plan amounts to date will be
determined. A settlement amount of either a debit or a credit will be added to (or subtracted from) the
customer's current charges and will be due and payable at the same time as the customer's current
charges. If the customer has a debit or credit balance upon separation from the Level Pay Plan, the debit
or credit will be applied to the customer's account. If the customer moves or discontinues service with
the City of Banning, a closing settlement bill will be produced showing an amount due or credit. Final
billing credit amounts are processed in accordan
ce with established Utility Billing procedures.
A customer terminating participation in the Level Pay Plan may re-enroll after six months of regular
monthly billing.
Termination for Cause from the Level Pay Plan: A customer will be terminated from the Level Pay Plan
by the City if the account becomes delinquent (customer has not paid the Level Pay Plan amount in
accordance with existing Utility payment requirements). Customers will be automatically terminated
from the Level Pay Plan for a returned check unless documented in writing as a bank error. In addition to
the aforementioned causes, the City reserves the right to cancel, at any time, the Level Pay Plan in its
entirety at its discretion. After termination, at the next billing cycle the customer will be returned
to regular monthly billing. The difference between the actual monthly utility costs and the Level Pay
Plan amounts to date will be determined. A settlement amount of either a debit or a credit will be
added to (or subtracted from) the customer's current charges and will be due and payable at the same
time as the customer's current charges. If the customer has a debit or credit balance upon termination
from the Level Pay Plan, the debit or credit will be applied to the customer's account.
The customer will be ineligible for re-enrollment to the Level Pay Plan for a period of 12 months.
Reconnection of Utility Services for Level Pay Plan Customers: If a customer has been disconnected for
nonpayment of Level Pay Plan amounts or for a returned check, the settlement amount due plus any
reconnection charges must be paid before service is reconnected. Upon reconnection, the customer will
be placed on regular monthly billing.
