Do I need to pay the total amount due if I believe my estimated charges are too
high?
Yes. Each month you must pay the total amount due as shown on your bill. Failure
to pay this full amount on time may result in disconnection of your service.
What happens if my actual charges differ from my estimated charges?
Each month Gas South will calculate the difference between your actual charges and
your estimated charges from your prior bill. Your current charges will include this
difference to ensure you only pay for the gas you use.
How much time do I have to pay my bill?
Your Pay-As-You-Go bill is due 20 days after the bill date. Please note that an
accelerated disconnection timeline applies to this program, whereby your gas service
is subject to disconnection five days after the due date on the bill. Therefore,
it is very important to pay your bill promptly. Your bill will always include a
disconnection notice to remind you of the payment amount and due date required to
avoid disconnection.
