SRP

Srp was in our park( Hacienda de Valencia) upgrading our lines they managed to hit our water lines 3 times and the third time we had no water for 24 hours. They have been here since may 1st and have blocked our streets with their trucks we have big metal plates all over the park and they still aren't done, lord help us. You need to train your workers better
, I have been a customer for 16 years and am very disappointed with the way this has gone. Shame on you!

I live at The Orchard Mesa, 108 N Greenfield Rd, Mesa, AZ 85205. This complex is for age 55 and older with the majority of the residents in their 70's and 80's.
So far in 2021 there have been five outages at this complex: Dec 11 for 2 hrs, 37 min and Dec 3 for 1 hr, 51 min., Sep 5 1 hr 21 min, Mar 27 1 hr 59 min, Mar 24 for 1 hr 48 min. I believe the reason has been and underground cable each time.
During the Dec 11th outage, a friend of mine fell in her bathroom because she could not see to get to the toilet. There are many residents here on oxygen.
I am very concerned about so many outages. I have never lived anywhere where there has been so many outages. I think it is outrageous and an elderly complex has to deal with this.. Can this underground cable(s) be fixed to prevent so many outages?

Consumer Affairs has been in contact with the customer and SRP will write off the disputed amount. Consumer Affairs' investigation of issue shows error in billing on SRP's part, so customer not responsible. Also, customer credit not in jeopardy, as SRP had not yet sent this to any
outside credit agency. Thank youSRP Consumer Affairs

Consumer Affairs has been in contact with the customer and verified the payment in question was made on time through [redacted], a third party payment vendor. Therefore Consumer Affairs issued refund of $209.81. Thank you!

I have had six power outages in the last three weeks. I am currently experiencing one that is intended to last at least 6 hours. We have already experienced two that lasted at least 12 hours. It is the hottest part of the summer and my frustration is due to their lack of communication. I am signed up for email and text notifications. I am not receiving either. They said that they would call when it is resolved, but I didn't receive a call the first time they said that. Now my power is out again and the only reason that I know this is because my neighbor informed me. I have a pet in the house and he could have been left in the heat without any warning. It is a very frustrating situation, but when you do everything you can to at least be informed and are not it becomes unacceptable.

SRP Consumer Affairs advised [redacted] on 10/18 that requiring a deposit on her new account is in accordance with U.S. Code 366. Also, there is no evidence that SRP personnel tampered with [redacted]'s water meter and [redacted] has provided no further support regarding same....

SRP is the worst. Today we are in the midst of yet ANOTHER power outage- this is the third one since 7/29- the other two were 12+ hours long. The prob starts benign enough, saying there will be a roughly 2 hour outage. No big deal, right? Except then you check and it's now 4 hours. Then it's 12 hours. It makes it impossible to plan for, and meanwhile I'm lugging our infant daughter and pets to friends/family/hotels that can accommodate us because *newsflash* SRP- it's summer and the house quickly reaches 90+ degrees. SRP does nothing in the manner of apologizing or customer service except to say that yet another underground line has blown. There is no energy credit, no grocery credit (for the two times I've now had to clear out my fridge), and no clear plan as to how they're going to prevent this in the future. Thanks for nothing, SRP.

SRP did contact me and asked to review the information that was initially sent to them. They did not ask me for more information but rather copies of the same information I had previously sent.
 
Upon the Umbudsmans review of the information she determined that although my personal equipment was damaged, there was no negligence on their part when the meter was switched. She did however explain that SRP was negligent in how the situation was communicated to me. 
 
No notice was given as to a switch taking place.
SRP denied any power outage at the home the day of the exchange, SRP further denied the meter had been switched at all, then recanted and admitted that yes, the meter had been switched and proceeded in stating that even though damage can occur to household electronics during any type of outage, that the problem was in my surge protectors that have been working fine until this incident.
 
SRP offered to pay me 750 for a 2000 computer. Then in order to get a check from them they sent me a w9 form. 
I was not a contracted worker for them yet this form will ensure I pay taxes as if I was contracted to work for them and they paid me $750 toward my yearly income.
 
I hope you are astonished at the lengths a wealthy company will go to in order to not take responsibility for damages, write a check for reimbursements then make the party whose goods were damaged pay taxes on that reimbursement. I certainly am.

Dear Revdex.com,

According to shareholder entitlements, SRP is delivering the correct amount of irrigation to Mr. [redacted] subdivision at the delivery point established by SRP governing documents. 

In this case, the problems arise from the private system and must be rectified by the owners of that private system.  Unfortunately, Mr. [redacted] previously refused SRP’s offer to walk the private system so that SRP employees could point out areas that are in need of maintenance and repair.  If proper maintenance and repairs were made, then Mr. [redacted] and his neighbors would receive their irrigation allocation without any issues.  Proper maintenance includes weeds and debris removal, ditch reshaping to deliver the amount of irrigation allocated within the gravity fed private system. Repairs need to be made to grates, slides and valves, it is SRP’s experience that as long as shareholders manage their irrigation (adhering to scheduled times) and the private system is maintained in good repair (functioning properly), then irrigation water deliveries can be made without any issues regarding the quantity of water.  Again, the water amount delivered is based on water rights entitlements.  These entitlement amounts have been in place and have been legally recognized as appropriate for decades. 

SRP recognizes that Mr. [redacted] is a shareholder and has extended assistance to him, but without his acknowledgement that work must be done within the private system, which is up to shareholders to operate and maintain, there is nothing further that SRP can do to resolve this situation.  As expressed in my previous response to the Revdex.com, “All additional efforts SRP has made in this matter have been as a courtesy happily extended to its shareholders, but in this case to no avail.”

Sincerely,

Sr. [redacted]

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

SRP and [redacted] financial were made aware of the double payment right away.  When we called SRP they of course referred us to [redacted] financial basically saying there hands are washed of the double payment because they have nothing to do with [redacted] financial we had to call them.  We called [redacted] financial to cancel the transaction and they basically said our payment would just go towards a future bill.  it would take up to 60 days for them to return the charge.  So we told them we would despute the charge with the bank.  They didn't care.  So we desputed the charge...  Ofcourse SRP and [redacted] want to blame everyone else and not take responsibility for there lack of customer service.  If they would of taken care of the situation in January we wouldn't be on the Revdex.com going through the complaint process.  Blaming me as the customer and my bank and not taking responsibility for the poor service that was provided in the situation is a cop out.  Bottom line SRP and [redacted] financial could of handled and solved this issue months ago.  Their lack of customer service and attention to a customer that accidently made a double payment on our account was horrible, there were no options brought to my attention to take care of the double payment in a timely fashion.  Basically a sorry your Burnt deal with it, your the one that made the double payment not our issue now we got your money thanks.  So I don't find SRP's response as resolving a the complaint maybe more of adding fuel to the fire.  thanks for your time

Regards,

SRP regrets any miscoummication and/or invconvenience caused Mr. [redacted] concerng the ultimate replacement of the electric meter at his home. No fees were charged to Mr. [redacted] electric service account and a complimentary energy audit (normally a cost of $55) was performed.

After reviewing this complaint, I was able to locate a customer with the same name at the Indian School address and then spoke with SRP Collections.  According to SRP records, it appears that the outside collections agency SRP uses, Online Collections, somehow linked the wrong...

[redacted]'s together.  SRP has contacted Online Collections and requested they make the necessary corrections and remove the adverse credit activity notation from Ms. [redacted]'s credit report.  I have also called Ms. [redacted] at [redacted] to inform her of this and advise that the process, unfortunately, can take between 60-90 days.  I have documented Ms. [redacted]'s SRP account on this and have created a case file for documentation purposes in the event that Ms. [redacted] needs assistance from me in the future on this matter, I can be reached at [redacted].  Sincerely,
Lori L[redacted]

Dear Revdex.com,

SRP has tried to work with Mr. [redacted], but he did not agree with comments and /or suggestions made by SRP employees to assist him with resolving his irrigation concerns.   Therefore after consulting with SRP [redacted], the following email was sent to...

Mr. [redacted] on August 14, 2014 at 4:15pm:

Dear Mr. [redacted]:

SRP has reviewed all of your correspondence to date, including your prepared analysis, and listened to your remarks in person.  In addition, we have met internally to discuss this situation.

First and foremost, SRP emphatically supports and applauds the performance of all its employees throughout this matter and even more emphatically rejects your characterizations of them.

Second, we simply do not share your version of either the facts, or the process used to establish such facts, regarding the appropriate means to deliver water in your neighborhood private system.

Moreover, as we have repeatedly advised you, SRP’s obligation is to deliver water to a point established by SRP governing documents in sufficient quantity to meet shareholder entitlements. That SRP has performed this obligation does not appear to subject to challenge. All additional efforts SRP has made in this matter have been as a courtesy happily extended to its shareholders, but in this case to no avail unfortunately due to your and others’ attacks on the “messengers,” in lieu of any cooperative effort. Consequently, our efforts, beyond meeting SRP’s above referenced obligation, will cease.

Sincerely,

Sr. [redacted]
