Because of the new Identity Theft Laws Utility Companies are required to obtain proof of residency when opening a new account.
NEW OWNERSHIP:
Countryside residents are required to obtain a Real Estate Transfer before they are permitted to close on their property. You can call our office if you are selling or buying a new property to obtain this transfer form. If you live in La Grange, we recommend that you call our office to obtain a final bill. We will also need proof of ownership in order to transfer the account into your name.
RENTAL PROPERTY:
We recommend that landlords contact the District when their tenant is moving and request a final bill. Any unpaid charges belong to the property and a new account will not be opened for a new tenant until all outstanding charges are paid. A copy of the lease with the Renter's name and phone number are required.
WHAT IF I HAVE A CREDIT ON MY ACCOUNT?
We do not refund credits. We will issue a letter to the seller which will allow them to include this credit in their closing costs.
ACCOUNT & FIELD SERVICES: (also see: "Sewer Problems")
