Cody City Attempts To Collect
In the city of Cody, Wyoming this year, 219 utility accounts were sent out to collection agencies. Only four of the bills were from property owners. Some city council members are suggesting that the city council consider holding property owners responsible for utility costs that their renters left unpaid. A policy like that could have added $180,000 to the city budget during the past five years, and furthermore, other utility users are subsidizing those that don’t pay their bills.
