This course provides an overview of the authority and requirements for establishing customer accounts and billing and collecting public enterprise utility fees. The focus will be on water, sewer, and solid waste enterprises. Participants will engage in a series of interactive exercises to apply general concepts to common scenarios that arise in utility billing and collections. The course is intended for finance officers, clerks, managers, attorneys, utility managers, and utility billing clerks of all experience levels.
