The action ensures that no Hamlet resident who is serving or employed by the federal government loses access to essential water, sewer, or sanitation services during this period of uncertainty.
𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
- Water, sewer, and sanitation bill payments will be temporarily suspended during the shutdown and for 14 days following its conclusion.
- Service disconnections and late fees for eligible customers will be waived during that time.
- Sanitation services will continue without interruption.
- All deferred balances must be paid in full within 60 days following the end of the shutdown.
𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬:
Relief is available to Hamlet utility account holders who can show proof of direct impact from the federal shutdown, including:
- Active-Duty Military Personnel (current orders or military ID)
- U.S. Armed Forces Reservists (federal activation or training orders)
- National Guard Members (Title 10 or Title 32 orders)
- Military Dependents (DEERS verification or dependent ID if account holder)
- Federal Civilian Employees (furlough or non-pay notice)
- Federal Contractors (employer verification of suspended pay)
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲:
Residents who believe they qualify should contact the Utility Billing Division (910) 582-7983 or visit City Hall Water Department, 201 Main Street, during regular business hours to provide documentation and apply for relief.
This measure reflects the City’s continued commitment to protecting the well-being of our community while ensuring fairness and stability during difficult times.
