City of Lawrence utility bill
Despite a utility assistance program, past-due utility bills continue to pile up for Lawrence residents. As of this month, 3,570 Lawrence households still have utility payments that are more than three weeks past due, amounting to $1.28 million in delinquencies.
The city provides water, solid waste and sewer services, and during the City Commission’s meeting Tuesday, Finance Director Jeremy Willmoth told the commission that a utility assistance program funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES, was under utilized, and that the average month-end delinquent balance per household has continued to grow since March.
