Question:
Can you change my billing date? Due date? Late charge date?
Answer:
LPL is not able to arbitrarily change the meter reading dates due to
the geographical nature of this process. The billing date acts as the
trigger for the bill due date, and the late charge date. The billing
date is directly related to the meter reading date. Presently, LPL
has twenty-one meter reading dates (cycles) based upon geographical
locations within the City of Lubbock. Meter readers are assigned cycles
and routes enabling LPL to read and bill all meters within the Utility
Billing System. If you have a special problem with a billing or due
date, please call the Main Business Office at 775-2509.
Question:
What does the billing codes and especially the word "arrears" mean?
Answer:
The billing codes are explained on the back of the bill statement. The
word "arrears" refers to the past due amount of the accounts receivable
balance.
