As a past treasurer of church, getting shut off notices from electric company is pretty standard when following the rules. By the time the bill gets to the bookkeeper, its easy for a few weeks to go by. By the time the bookkeeper enters the bills and prepares payments for the treasurer, a few more weeks go by. By the time the treasurer gets two signatures, a few more weeks can go by.
We're small enough that the treasurer keeps the books. Such notices haven't been a problem for us...
