Great News, Amarillo. You Can Finally Use Recurring Payments Again.
Today, the City of Amarillo announced that those of us who have been missing the recurring credit card payments for utilities can celebrate. The option is back online.
Why Was The Recurring Payment Option Offline?
According to the press release put out by the City, there was a software issue in the Utility Billing Department. There was a temporary interruption to the recurring payment service. If you got caught up in that interruption, there's some good news from the City for you.
The Good News? No Late Fees Assessed Due To The Maintenance.
You read that right. If you got caught up in the temporary interruption to the recurring payment service, you won't be assessed a late fee for missing the payment.
That's awfully nice, considering it wasn't our choice whether or not to miss the payment.
