LATE FEES APPEARING ON CUSTOMER BILLS
Some City of Duncanville residents may discover late fees on their utility bills. The city’s utility billing software (legacy system) is automatically adding late fees for the period starting from February 15, 2021, through March 5, 2021. Utility bills are generated and sent 19 days prior to the due date, which will cause a penalty charge to appear on accounts where the payment was not made within 3 days of the due date. As a result of the winter storms and the system’s automation, customers who discover a late fee on their bills but can contact Utilities’ staff at (972) 780-5010 to have this fee waived.
WATER CUT-OFF SUSPENDED
Water cut-offs due to non-payment of current bills are suspended through March 5, 2021.
WINTER AVERAGING CHANGES
The final month of utility billing winter averaging is February 2021, but due to the winter storms, changes are being made to assist Duncanville residents. The Utility Billing department will be running a report comparing winter averages for 2021 against 2020 and making appropriate adjustments in response to February spikes caused by the winter storms. Customers experiencing wastewater (sewer) cost increases due to leaks caused by the winter storms can request a manual review and adjustments by calling (972) 780-5010. New winter averaging will go into effect for April billings.
We love having visitors here in the library. Right now though, lots of people prefer to stay home and avoid public places altogether.
Well, that’s cool too.
One of the problems with staying home is that boredom becomes a factor. If you can’t go to the library, then how are you supposed to have anything new to read? Or find a new movie or TV show? Netflix (awesome as it is) doesn’t have everything… Neither do we, but we might have some things that streaming services don’t.
We offer a couple of different ways to find something to read or watch. Oh, and best of all, they’re free (just like most of the library’s services.)
OPTION #1
We can come to you, Duncanville!! That’s right, the library now offers a delivery service to all library patrons who live in Duncanville. It’s simple.
Just place the books/dvds/magazines/audios that you want on hold through our online catalog. We’ll pull them and let you know they’re ready. Then you can just say, “Could you deliver those for me?”
We make our delivery rounds every Monday afternoon.
I can hear someone now, “It’s already Tuesday and I don’t want to wait all week for new books.”
No problem!
OPTION #2
You can pick them up at the library without even leaving your car. When you arrive, just park by the clock tower and call us at 972-780-5050. Let us know you’re here and then we’ll have someone come right out with your items.
As always, catch us on social media or comment below. If you have a library question, call 972-780-5052 or email librarians@duncanville.com.
