Today the Eastern Municipal Water District, which services the City of Menifee, posted an updated list of persons whom they owe money to...

You ought to check it because it's a long list.

Some of the names are businesses, but most are residents. In all, 556 names are listed totaling $41,845.78. Most of these amounts are less than $100.00, but there are others who are owed several hundreds of dollars.

The unclaimed money relates to refunds associated with the closing of water accounts, water efficiency rebates, and refunds of deposits to developers upon completion of projects, etc.

The District attempts to locate the current address to contact these customers, but is sometimes unsuccessful due to lack of a forwarding address, companies closing, businesses and residents filing for bankruptcy, or for other reasons.

The District performs a search in its customer database to see if the customer has an active account the unclaimed money can be applied against. After three years, any remaining unclaimed money may be returned to the District’s general fund after public notice has been published through the media.

If you're on the list, you can claim the amount using the Unclaimed Money Claim Form, found here...
