TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A New York environmental services company will pay 13 Kansas cities for falsely billing them for services that weren’t provided.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced Wednesday that he had entered into a consent agreement with Nationwide Environmental Services. Schmidt’s office accused the company of billing the cities for products that were not ordered or services that weren’t provided.
The company will refund about $10,600 to the 13 communities and will also pay the cost of the investigation.
The cities that will receive refunds are Clay Center, Concordia, Hardtner, Hays, Hoisington, Kanopolis, Leoti, Linwood, Lucas, Minneapolis, Mound Valley, Paola and Ulysses.
