MPMU Advises Residents About Scam

Mt. Pleasant Utilities cautioned residents yesterday about a scam circulating the community.  The Utility office has received multiple calls where someone pretends to be from MPMU, claiming the power will be shut off immediately unless a payment is made immediately, and creating a sense of urgency.  This is a common scam tactic where scammers try to trick people into paying fake overdue bills to avoid service disruption.  Please be aware: Mt. Pleasant Utilities will not take payments over the phone and do not give out any personal information.  If you have questions, please contact MPMU at 319-385-2121.
