SERVICE AGREEMENTS – Resolution No. UA 2009-13
Information Needed for Service: In order to provide Utility Service promptly, Fort Pierce Utilities
Authority (FPUA) requires the Customer’s name and Service Address or, if in rural territory, other information to assist in locating the Customer’s Service Address. On new installations or existing installations requiring modifications, FPUA will need to know the type of equipment to be installed or added.
The Customer or Applicant will also be required to furnish:
A. A current rent receipt or lease agreement containing the Customer’s name and address and the
property owner’s signature; OR some form of proof of ownership such as a closing statement, deed,
etc.
B. One acceptable form of government issued identification with a photograph, such as a Driver License. Credit cards are not acceptable for identification purposes.
Minimum Age: A Customer must be a minimum of eighteen (18) years of age (unless married, widowed, or divorced) to establish a Utility Service account in his or her name.
Prior Indebtedness: FPUA may withhold or discontinue Utility Service rendered under an application
made by any member or agent of a family, household, organization, or business, unless all Prior Indebtedness to FPUA for the same class of Utility Service at any one or more locations of such family, household, organization, or business has been settled in full. FPUA may also refuse Utility Service for Prior Indebtedness by a previous Customer if the current Applicant or Customer occupied the premises and/or
received the benefits of the Utility Service at the time the Prior Indebtedness occurred, and/or the previous Customer continues to occupy the premises.
CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING SECURITY DEPOSITS - Resolution No. UA 2006-17
A Security Deposit shall be required from all Customers who apply for Residential service. Under normal circumstances, Security Deposits shall be paid in full before the establishment of Utility Service.
Customers who apply for Residential service will be required to post a Minimum Security Deposit, or
one equal to twice the average monthly bill (computed as indicated below), whichever is greater. However, upon Customer request, the UA may use a credit verification agency to obtain the Customer’s Fair
Isaac score. Based on the score, the UA will determine one of the following deposit levels: (1) no deposit, (2) Minimum Security Deposit, or (3) deposit equal to twice the average monthly bill.
