In view of these difficult economic times, the Fillmore City Council has approved an Amnesty Program for past due utility customers with active or closed accounts. Beginning Monday, December 3, 2012, the City Manager or their designee may waive up to six months of penalty and interest charges if a customer brings their account current on active accounts, or paid in full on closed accounts. Payments must be made within ninety days from the date of the executed plan. Requests must be made in writing on a City approved form.

Customers will have until February 28, 2013 to make arrangements for a payment plan that will pay their account in full within ninety days of the execution of the payment plan. Once a payment plan has been negotiated it may not be amended. If the account is not paid in full by the ninety days, penalty and interest charges that were waived will be added to the account.

Request forms are available at Fillmore City Hall, 250 Central Avenue, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and every other Friday or online at www.fillmoreca.com.
