Recently moved into an apartment complex that uses BPU and set up auto draft payments. For some reason, they haven't been taking the auto draft payments out of my account even though the bill says not to pay due to auto payments. As a result, today they disconnected my service for a past due balance. I have been trying to get ahold of a person at customer service for hours and can't get a real person to answer to find out what the issue is or why they haven't been taking out the payments automatically. I also haven't been able to get my service restored.

Some of the extra charges are ridiculous and unnecessary

Too high bills. Two years ago we would get bills around $300 and now we are getting in $500 line even tho we been using same amounts of water and electricity..

Not a good start at all. Gotta be the worst utility experience ever. Quit while you are ahead.

Questions & Answers

Why is BPU ripping customers off, then treating them like garbage through customer service? LaRonda is a racist that shouldnt ever have a job involving customer relations.

J Perry | Sep 18, 2018
A. Williams | Sep 18, 2018

Because they know we have no other options for service.

How long does BPU take to turn on the utilities if you’re getting them on for the first time?

Cristian Zarate | Sep 18, 2018
Dennis Engler | Sep 18, 2018

Check if you have a smart meter outside.... If it is a smart meter they can trigger it remotely, so should kick on within the hour.... Water they have to go on-site to turn it on so that may take a little longer.

We are aware of the issue and have alerted our billing department. The bills have been reprinted and were reissued June 25th.

They say it will take 2 hours. But sometimes the services will be restored in 15 minutes. My lights were off Tuesday. Fifteen minutes later my lights were back on.

Karli Best | Sep 18, 2018

I have no answer except I don't believe these people are honest I think they are crooked and they lack integrity.

My bill has steadily gone uplast month almost 100$... this month a jump of $30 from last month..,,I keep thermostats at 79/80.... I’m comfortable, was gone a week. .. I’ve purposely lowered my usage. Fairly new here, gobsmacked

Richard Banks | Sep 17, 2020
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities | Sep 17, 2020

Hi, Richard. Our billing statements not only include electric and water charges, but Unified Government and state charges. Certain Unified Government-related fees and surcharges have recently increased for county/city residents. It may explain the change. We have a webpage that helps explain the bill charges here: https://www.bpu.com/ForHome/Billing/UnderstandingmyBPUBill.aspx

Why do we have to get sewer insurance?

Nadine Huddleston | Sep 17, 2020
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities | Sep 17, 2020

It's not required, only optional. We have more information about the program on our website here: https://www.bpu.com/forhome/waterservice/homerepairplans.aspx

My landlord will not refund me my deposit even though I've been there three weeks and heat is broken and nothing has been fixed. I've only stayed there two nights and co2 is leaking ouy

Melissa Fine | Sep 17, 2020
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities | Sep 17, 2020

Hi, Melissa. If you feel that your rental is unsafe it's best to contact the Kansas City, Kansas Housing Authority as soon as possible. Here is a link with how to reach them and what information is needed for them to investigate: http://www.kckha.org/report-fraudcomplaints.html. If you have any questions, give them a call at (913) 281-3300.

What cold temperature should we have at home in hot weather?

Escolapio Cienfuegos | Sep 18, 2019
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities BPU | Sep 18, 2019

Lower the thermostat setting to 78 ° F (26 ° C) only when you are at home and increase the temperature when you exit. Avoid setting the thermostat to a colder than normal value when you turn on your air conditioner. It does not cool your home faster and could cost you more on your electric bill. If you use air conditioning, a ceiling fan will allow you to raise the temperature by approximately 4 ° F without changing your comfort. Remember to turn off the ceiling fans when you leave the room.

Can you pay electric on line?

Sure, just sign up for an online account at www.bpu.com. Account payments can be made under the 'Manage My Account' tab.

Why when i tried to pay my bill on line, because im on flex-pay, they wouldn't let me pay the bill. And the thing is, my regular bill is less than $50.

FlexPay payments can be made in the lobby or at any payment kiosk throughout the metro area. PayKiosk locations can be found here: https://paysitekiosklocator.com/.

Does my bill need to be paid in full in order to transfer to another house

Robert Sutler | Sep 18, 2019
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities | Sep 18, 2019

Yes.

Can you change your address for service without coming into the lobby?

Debra Brooks-Jones | Sep 18, 2019
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities | Sep 18, 2019

If you're a current customer and need to transfer services, you can do so through your BPU online account. Visit BPU.com and select 'Manage My Account'. After you log in, go to the 'Utility Services' tab and in the drop-down menu you will see 'Transfer Utility Service'.

What the heck is going on with BPU trash service ? They drive right past my trash can and don't pick up . I have to call them and wait 2 to 3 days to come back . I'm told the driver said there was no trash there . Thats B.S

Melissa | Sep 18, 2019
Kansas City Board of Public Utilities | Sep 18, 2019

Although trash and recycling services fees appear on our bill, they are actually provided by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County Public Works division. They can be reached by calling 3-1-1.
