Provider-specific findings
Delinquency research for this provider
The notes below may document a rule or explain a specific public-information limit. Any active notice and direct provider confirmation remain controlling.
- Grace period
- The current Rule No. 9 states that a late payment charge may apply when payment is not received before the past-due date printed on the bill; it does not provide a general extra-day grace period.
- Late-fee rules
- Rule No. 9 provides a 1.5% late payment charge on the total unpaid balance when payment is not received before the past-due date, applied when a late notice is issued. The charge may compound on past-due balances; LIRA customers are exempt, and payment on the date the late notice is mailed may forgive the assessed fee under the rule language.
- Shut-off timeline
- California American Water may discontinue residential service 60 days after a bill becomes delinquent. A qualifying written notice is provided at least 10 days before discontinuance; disputed charges raised within five days of receiving the contested bill are investigated before service is discontinued.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The company sends written notice to the customer/resident at least 10 days before discontinuance and attempts telephone contact. If telephone contact fails and mail is returned, it makes a good-faith effort to leave written notice at the property. Customers may designate a third party to receive bills and shutoff notices.
