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
- Bills are due on the 15th, with a grace period through the last working day of the month; payments after the delinquent date are subject to penalties.
- Late-fee rules
- The current city page states a 2% penalty for water and sewer and 10% for solid waste. Returned payments incur $15; after two returned payments, the city may require cash payment for future transactions.
- Shut-off timeline
- California SB 998 requires a residential account to be at least 60 days delinquent before water service may be terminated. Once processed for disconnection, the city requires the $25 reconnection fee, a $100 deposit if none exists, and all balances owing to restore service.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The city must follow California SB 998 protections before residential termination. The reviewed page does not reproduce every notice method, so the account's written notice and statutory language control; customers should contact Finance immediately and request hardship or payment-plan review.
- Reconnection costs
- $25 reconnection fee during the standard process, plus all balances owing and a $100 deposit if one does not already exist. No separate after-hours dollar differential was published; only city personnel may reconnect at the meter.
