Disconnection/Delinquent Account Charges

Fees for late payments, returned payments and nonpayments

Your utility bill is due and payable as of the date shown on the bill.

A late fee will be assessed on any unpaid balance if payment is not received in full by the due date (view payment options and deadlines)
As a courtesy, GRU will mail you a late fee notice and service disconnection warning if your payment is not received in full by the payment deadline. Failure to read or receive this notice in a timely manner does not release you from your payment responsibilities.
Any bill not paid in full on the 14^th day after your payment due date shall be eligible for service disconnection.
Accounts not paid within 7 days of service disconnection will be closed, and any remaining utility services at the residence will be disconnected. (Additional delinquent fees may apply.) Any deposit on file will be applied to your outstanding balance.
GRU does not assume liability for any start-service or service reconnection performed remotely without an occupant present. Your request to start-service or payment resulting in service restoration indicates your acknowledgement and acceptance of this statement.
GRU does not contact customers to demand immediate payment or personal information. If you receive this type of request, please do not comply. If you are unsure about the authenticity of communications appearing to be from GRU, contact Customer Service at 352-334-3434 or 1-800-818-3436.
