“Effective Thursday, May 14, 2020, we will open our customer lobbies for in-person transactions; and GPA and GWA customers may pay their power bills using the two (2) newly-installed GPWA drive-thru payment windows at the GPWA Gloria B. Nelson Public Service Building, 688 Route 15, Fadian, Mangilao (along back road to Andersen),” said GPA General Manager John M. Benavente, P.E.
“Upon arrival at Fadian, customers can expect to see GPA and GWA employees at the roadside entrance managing traffic flow into and through the modified, front customer parking lot; as well as guiding customers to line-up at the entrance to the GPWA building to make their power and water utility payments or drop off documents. As both utilities introduce this new payment service option to our customers, we humbly ask everyone to kindly bear with us, as we transition together to this new and adjusted way of opening our services back up, in this time of the pandemic, according to the newly mandated guidelines,” Benavente further stated.
