Okeechobee Utility Authority Warns of Phone Scams

The Okeechobee County Utility Authority (OCUA) is warning residents about scams targeting utility customers. The authority will never demand immediate payment over the phone to prevent service disconnection.

Residents who receive suspicious calls requesting immediate payment should hang up and contact OCUA customer service directly to verify the information. This advisory aims to protect residents from fraudulent activities impersonating utility providers.

OCUA encourages anyone who receives suspicious calls to report them to the customer service department.
