ENTERPRISE, Ala.(WDNews) – The City of Enterprise announced Tuesday that it will waive late fees on city utility bills — including water, sewer, and sanitation services — for the duration of the ongoing federal government shutdown.
City officials said the move aims to assist residents who may be impacted, especially those connected to Fort Novosel, including soldiers, Department of Defense civilians, and contractors.
Essential services will continue without interruption, and officials stressed that Enterprise will not penalize residents for financial hardships beyond their control. However, the city clarified that it does not manage electric or gas utilities.
Late fees will be suspended until 30 days after the federal government shutdown concludes.
Residents with billing questions are encouraged to contact Enterprise City Hall or the Water Department to discuss flexible payment arrangements.
City leaders said Enterprise stands united in supporting soldiers, families, and others affected by the shutdown.
