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 upon receipt; accounts more than 45 days delinquent may be processed for disconnection. The page does not identify a separate grace period beyond the bill due date.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% penalty applies to charges unpaid by the bill due date, followed by a 1.5% monthly finance charge on the unpaid amount for continued delinquency. Returned-payment fees are $25 for the first returned payment and $35 for subsequent returned payments.
- Shut-off timeline
- After the due date, the 10% penalty applies; continued delinquency accrues 1.5% monthly. Accounts more than 45 days delinquent may be processed for disconnection. A delinquent shutoff processing fee is listed at $151, and all balances plus applicable fees are required to maintain or restore service.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City publishes AR 3.14, its residential water discontinuance/restoration policy, and makes the policy available in English, Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. The accessible billing page states the more-than-45-day threshold but does not expose the complete notice cadence, so the exact pre-shutoff mail/call/text sequence remains not publicly documented.
- Reconnection costs
- The current fee materials list a $151 delinquent shutoff processing fee. A $144 same-day water turn-on fee applies when service is requested on the same day; the page also lists a $249 first-occurrence meter-lock fee and other tampering charges. No separate after-hours restoration price is published.
