The City of San Marcos recently announced it has launched its utility assistance program, which will provide up to $1,500 in assistance on delinquent accounts to qualified residential customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or February’s Winter Storm Uri.
The city said customers are eligible for assistance if they have a residential utility account with a balance that has been past due for more than 60 days.
The San Marcos City Council directed staff to move forward with the creation of a utility assistance program during its March 16 regular meeting. The city has not been conducting utility disconnections and late fees for nonpayment due to COVID-19 since March 2020. Council voted to resume disconnections on August 1. Customers with delinquent accounts will receive reminders beginning the last week of June.
