Frequently Asked Questions

I got a call saying my power would be cut off. Am I being scammed?

Periodically, phone scammers call Nixa Utilities customers threatening to cut off utility services unless payment is made immediately over the phone or using gift cards. This is a scam.

If you are truly behind on your Nixa Utilities bill payments, we will send notices including an automated phone call notifying you that your bill is past due and that if you do not pay on time, your utilities services will be turned off. However, these calls are automated only, and cannot accept payment over the phone during the call. Also, we NEVER accept gift cards as a form of payment.

If in doubt, HANG UP. Do not make payment over the phone unless you called our real number 417-725-3229. You can also hang up if a caller says your payment is late, and then call us to see if your account is truly past due. Or, check your account online using NixaPay or myNixa.

Know the difference between a legitimate past-due notice and these threatening scams and be sure to warn vulnerable loved ones.
