Last week, the third-party vendor that Perquimans County Water uses to bill our water customers abruptly closed. PMSI had been our billing and postage vendor for more than a year and had given no indication of their plans to close or stop operations, especially effective immediately. This, however, is not unique to Perquimans, and many local governments, utility authorities, and even the NCDOR were left with outstanding work from PMSI to complete billing cycles.
In the last week, we have secured another firm to take this task over and get our customers’ billing caught up and back on the correct schedule. The company, OSG, is another North Carolina based firm and came highly recommended from other similar water providers locally and from around the state. Also, in the last week we have been able to get the last three (3) billing cycles for May out, with the last going out on Friday.
During this time Perquimans County Water will not be charging any late fees. Please understand that we are doing everything we can to expedite this process with a lasting solution. A good option for our customers is the ability to email the bill to you. All we need from the customer is a valid email address. Please call the Water Department at (252) 426-8230 to set up this up.
Thank you for your patience as we make this transition and continue to provide service to our customers.
