Is there any additional info you'd like online for folks wondering what to do
if they haven't received a utility bill by the 10th? -- Ted] -- We
are encouraging, or requesting people to pay approximately the same as they paid
last month so they won't be hit with two bills when the system comes up. We are
working on getting it all back on line now. But it will be a little longer before
it is restored. We appreciate everyone's patience during this very trying time.
