GEBE provides electricity and the water distribution system on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. The actual water is provided by a contracted company. Their office hours are 8AM to 3PM and they do not mess around. Your water and power will be disconnected 2 weeks after the due date if it is not paid. They don't mess around with that either. Also, don't ever bounce a check with them - you'll have to pay in cash forever more. Don't ask me how I know these things, k?

Everyone who has had to pay GEBE bills here is familiar with the lines. Things are getting better slowly. It is now possible to pay by direct debit from your bank account but beware, if there is not enough money in the account they don't try again the next day when that check clears - it's up to you to get the bill paid. Oh and, they do not take credit cards.
