The water company said that recently a few customers have received questionable calls requesting payment for overdue bills.

United Water is advising the recipients of suspicious calls to hang up and call customer service at either (877)-266-9109, or (877)-426-8969.

If someone comes to the house claiming to be from the company, customers should know that United Water employees wear uniforms and ID badges with the company name and logo, it said. The badge shows the employee’s color photograph, name, job title and date the badge was issued. Customers should also look for the white United Water van with a prominent company logo.

If customers have any doubts, they should have the person wait outside while they call United Water to verify that the company has sent someone to their home. If they suspect they’ve been scammed, they can also contact local police, the company said.

According to its website, United Water serves about 200,000 people in New Rochelle, Rye, Rye Brook, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, North Pelham, Pelham Manor, Ardsley, Hastings-on-Hudson, Port Chester, and Dobbs Ferry.
