CUC extends hours on working Fridays

THE Commonwealth Utilities Corp. is now open until 6 in the afternoon during working Fridays.
CUC spokeswoman Pamela Mathis said they used to be open only until 4:30 p.m.
They have, however, received complaints from some of their customers who want to pay their bills even on austerity Fridays.
She said to help facilitate collections, their customer service office will now be open until 6 p.m. during non-austerity Fridays.
This way, she added, they do not have to pay overtime.
“The customers have expressed gratitude for our new policy — they are happy and relieved,” Mathis said.
For those who are facing disconnection and whose due date is close to an austerity Friday, “we encourage them to pay on Thursday or at the banks,” she added.
