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 bill issuance/due period. Residential bills are due upon receipt and become delinquent after 30 days; commercial bills are due within 30 days.
- Late-fee rules
- A 1.5% charge is added when the bill is not paid within 30 days. Once a shutoff notice is issued, the City adds $3.00 or 5% of the unpaid balance, whichever is greater. The City's published payment policy also says a reconnection fee ranges from $20 to $100 during standard restoration hours.
- Shut-off timeline
- Day 0 is the bill due/issuance period. After 30 days without payment, the account becomes delinquent and the City mails a first reminder including interest. If still unpaid, a second reminder/disconnection notice including penalty charges is mailed; the account is subject to disconnection after it has been delinquent for 60 days. Shutoffs are scheduled early in the week so staff can restore service before the weekend.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City's published policy describes sequential mailed notices: a first reminder after the 30-day delinquency point and a second reminder/disconnection notice warning that service will be shut off if the balance remains unpaid. The reviewed page does not promise automated calls, text messages, door hangers, or a particular colored paper; customers should keep the billing address current and contact Revenue Services when the first reminder arrives.
- Reconnection costs
- Regular-hours reconnection is published as a range of $20-$100 from 7:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m., depending on the account/service action. After-hours turn-on is $251.38. The delinquent balance and applicable fees must be resolved before restoration.
