I finally got confirmation from the Birmingham Water Works regarding the online payments and charges. This came to me this morning via email:
Dear Nicki;
There will be a service charge of $2.50 every time a customer uses the online payment system. Our automatic draft is a free service and I will send you the forms at your request. If you have any further questions or comments please contact me via reply email or the information provided below.
Sincerely,
Michelle Tims
Customer Service Representative

There you have it, right from the proverbial horse’s mouth.

Oh yeah, and there’s a $3.50 charge for every time you blog about the Birmingham Water Works board in a negative light ;-)

LOL! Hey you! Long time no see!
(re: bwwb – I wouldn’t doubt it! LOL)
Love the pic of you and your wife on your LiveSpace, that’s SO SWEET! :D

Someone needs to remind them that the online bill paying thing saves them money too. Sheesh.

That bites! Don’t they realize it costs less to process payments online than do it manually?

The decision makers of this city aren’t exactly known for their intellectual prowess and leadership/decision-making skills.
