The Columbus City Utilities is apologizing for a clerical error in which about 2,000 customers received past-due notices and disconnect warnings when they didn’t owe any money.
City utility clerks were sending out routine email notices March 3 on water and sewer bills to let customers know they were past due on paying their water and sewer bills, said Keith Reeves, Columbus City Utilities director.
Because of a clerical error, about 2,500 of the notices went out, when only 200 accounts were actually past due, he said.
“We regret it,” Reeves said.
