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
- 30 days after the bill is rendered before the account is delinquent; the code also describes the bill as past due 20 days after rendering.
- Late-fee rules
- A delinquent account is subject to a penalty of 1.5% of delinquent charges. The code permits discontinuance of service without further notice once the account is delinquent; returned or insufficient-funds payments incur a $25 charge under the city's autopay material.
- Shut-off timeline
- The bill is past due 20 days after rendering and delinquent 30 days after rendering. Once delinquent, the code allows service discontinuance without further notice; the reviewed material does not prescribe a longer fixed calendar countdown to physical shutoff.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Buena Park's code permits discontinuance without further notice after delinquency. The reviewed materials do not identify a distinct automated-call, text, colored-mailer, or door-hanger sequence, so customers should treat the rendered bill and any city delinquency notice as the controlling warning.
- Reconnection costs
- All delinquent charges and the applicable city turn-on fee must be paid before restoration. Buena Park's code refers to a council-established service call fee for turnoff/turnon/collection, but the exact current standard-hours versus after-hours amount was not exposed.
