Good morning, folks:

My municipality's PWA has expressed interest in revising its policy on how to handle water and trash utility accounts that are in arrears.  More specifically, they want to make sure PWA employees have some leeway in negotiating payment plans, but also to specify a cutoff point.  How do your PWA's handle accounts that are in arrears?  Appreciate any descriptions, sample policies, etc.

Thanks in advance!
