Looking for help with your water and power bills?

Vera’s Credit Department

We are always willing to work with our customers. Because of the lien right in our district, all extension requests must come from the owner or manager of the property. Once we receive permission from them, we are more than happy to assist you. To make a credit arrangement, please contact our credit department at arrangements@verawaterandpower.com.
