At the Laurens CPW, we recognize that occasionally people forget to pay their monthly utility bill. The reasons are many - travel, illness, or hospitalization. That’s why we have designed programs like the Third-Party Notification to serve as a safety net to help prevent utility service interruptions for nonpayment.

Under this program, the Laurens CPW will notify a designated third party if a residential customer’s account becomes past due. The third party may be a relative, friend, neighbor, or anyone the customer chooses. While the third party is not responsible for paying the bill, he or she may be able to help arrange for payment – helping avoid disconnection of service.

The Third-Party Notification is a free service and may be set up by the customer or by a concerned third party with the customer’s permission. This service provides assurance that someone will be notified if the customer’s utility service is subject to disconnection for nonpayment. This is an ideal way for third parties to have the peace of mind that they will be notified if someone they care for needs a little help. While the CPW will send a notice to the designated third party, the customer and third party agree that the CPW will incur no liability for failure of the third party to receive the requested notification. If you have questions about the program and whether it’s right for your circumstance, we would be delighted to discuss your situation and help you find the right solution.
