WATERTOWN, S.D.–Watertown police are alerting the public of a scam that has resurfaced in the area recently.
Scammers are calling people telling them they have a past-due utility bill, and their utilities services will be disconnected if they don’t pay up.
Police say Municipal Utilities will not contact you via telephone to take a payment over the phone.
If you have questions or concerns, you can contact Utilities directly by calling them at 882-6233.
