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 bill identifies a past-due date; any balance remaining after that date incurs the late fee. The public FAQ does not express the interval as a universal number of days because it depends on the mailed cycle.
- Late-fee rules
- A late balance incurs 10% or $50, whichever is less; each account may receive one late-fee waiver every rolling two years. A red shutoff tag costs $32, with one waiver allowed, and a $54 shutoff fee applies if payment is not made by the red-tag deadline. Returned payments incur $25.
- Shut-off timeline
- The due date is approximately 11 days after the bill mail date; the past-due date follows on the bill. After a red shutoff notice, a $32 red-tag fee applies, and failure to pay by the red-tag deadline results in the non-waivable $54 shutoff fee and termination process.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Poway uses a red shutoff notice/tag with a stated payment deadline. The City’s reviewed pages do not expose a separate automated call, text, or door-hanger sequence.
