Utility penalty
“Payments made after February 15th, 2017 will have an additional 1% interest, as well as an 8% penalty added to the unpaid balance.”
Seems a little harsh. 9% added if a day late on Utilities? Why not just add the 1% interest, like property taxes? Most other utilities (cable, elec, phone) aren’t this draconian in penalties.
This is water. Rather essential!
