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 City’s published utility fee schedule lists a late charge of 10% of the unpaid balance, calculated separately on each service component before totaling the account charge. It lists a $35 returned-check or electronic/automatic-debit charge, a $6 check-by-phone charge, a $46 turn-off-for-nonpayment charge, and a 40% collection-agency charge on referred balances. The current account bill and adopted fee resolution control if a revised 2026 amount is posted.
Shut-off timeline
Day 0 is the due date printed on the bi-monthly municipal-services bill. After the bill becomes delinquent, a 10% late charge may be added. For residential accounts, the City’s SB 998 policy requires written notice, an opportunity to dispute or arrange payment, and at least the statutory 60-day delinquency protection before service can be discontinued for inability to pay. The exact field shutoff date appears on the City’s notice; paying after a private bank bill-pay initiation does not stop the timeline until funds post.
Warning and notice protocol
Redlands publishes its SB 998 residential shutoff policy and separate documents for definitions, due date, alternative payment plans, disputed bills, and meter testing in English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. The City provides an account extension process and allows qualifying alternative plans when a health-care provider certifies that shutoff would be life threatening or a serious health/safety threat, the customer cannot pay within the normal cycle, and the customer agrees to a plan. The reviewed pages do not confirm a colored notice, automated-call sequence, SMS warning, or door hanger; follow the written notice’s date and instructions.
Reconnection costs
The City’s fee schedule lists a $46 turn-off-for-nonpayment charge and a $60 after-hours water turn-on service/standby-call charge; the schedule also lists a $26 service-call amount in the after-hours section, so customers should confirm the applicable combination with Customer Service. Re-establishment may require the unpaid balance, 10% late charge, returned-payment charges, and a new prepayment if credit was not established. Standard water information and service requests are handled at 909-798-7516; after-hours requests route through Police Dispatch at 909-798-7681, press 0.
