OPELIKA, Ala. – Opelika Power Services (OPS) continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make adjustments to help our customers during this time. OPS will continue to bill on schedule each month and payment is due as normal. However, OPS will begin waiving late fees for payments due after April 6, 2020 in addition to the previous announcement of not disconnecting power and charging a nonpayment fee.
OPS still encourages everyone to pay their bill monthly because the waiving of late fees, disconnection and non-payment fees is only until May 8, 2020. At this time disconnection of services for non-payment would resume after May 18, 2020. This policy will be evaluated again by May 8, 2020 to determine if an additional grace period is needed to help our customers.
Our lobby is still closed and will remain closed until further notice. Our drive-thru window will be open each business day from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Payments can be made at our drive-thru window, by mail, online at www.opelikapower.com or by calling OPS at (334) 705-5170 - Option 2. If a customer needs to sign up for service or transfer service, they can call (334) 705-5170 - Option 3 to speak to a customer service representative.
