Technical Bulletins: MTAS Municipal Technical Report: Termination Procedures and the Due Process Clause as Applied to Municipal Utilities (Report No. 24)

This report includes a paper prepared by Frierson M. Graves, Jr., and exhibits of notices and procedures now being used by the Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division, growing out of a case that was decided by the U. S. Supreme Court in 1978. The principles and procedures outlined herein would seem to be excellent guidance for any municipal utility in dealing with the difficult matter of terminating service for non-payment.
