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.
- Late-fee rules
- The municipal online portal states that a 5% delinquent penalty is assessed if the bill is not paid when due. Returned payments incur a $51 fee and may trigger immediate disconnection, especially when the payment was made to avoid disconnection.
- Shut-off timeline
- Antioch's SB-998 process uses a Final or Disconnection Notice; online or telephone payments intended to prevent termination must be made on or before the notice due date. If payment is not received by the Extension and Disconnection Notice deadline, a $29 processing service charge is assessed and the account is scheduled for disconnection; after physical shutoff, a $125 disconnection charge applies. The reviewed page does not state the original-bill-to-notice day count.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The city publishes SB-998 residential discontinuation materials and offers alternative payment arrangements, financial-hardship certifications, two-week extensions, and long-term arrangements. The notice's due date controls: once it passes, ordinary online/electronic payments do not avoid disconnect or restore service, and the account holder must contact a representative using guaranteed funds. Exact mail/phone/text delivery details are in the linked multilingual notice materials.
- Reconnection costs
- After an Extension and Disconnection Notice is missed, a $29 processing service charge is assessed; if water is physically disconnected, an additional $125 disconnection service charge is required, and a minimum $300 deposit may also be required. Same-day service requests generally cost $158, though the reviewed pages do not label an after-hours reconnection tier.
