DPU Resolving Payment Posting Delays Affecting Some Utility Accounts

Disconnections and flow restrictor installations suspended to protect customers during resolution

Richmond, VA — The City of Richmond Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is aware that some recent utility payments are not currently reflected in customer account balances due to a payment processing issue. DPU is actively working with this payment processor to identify and resolve any remaining payment posting delays as quickly as possible.

To ensure customers are not negatively impacted while this issue is being resolved, DPU is temporarily suspending utility service disconnections and flow restrictor installations. Additionally, any late fees resulting from delayed payment postings will be removed.

Customers who have already submitted a payment and received confirmation that it was processed should not submit a duplicate payment. Those payments will be reflected in next month’s bill.

DPU appreciates customers’ patience and understanding as work continues to resolve the issue. Additional updates will be provided as information becomes available.

Customers with questions about their utility account may contact DPU Customer Service at 804-646-4646 or visit rva.gov/public-utilities.
