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
- No penalty-free grace period is stated. The $10 late fee is added the day after the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- A $10 late fee is added on the day after the due date. If payment is not made by the date printed on the late notice, an additional $15 hang-tag fee is added. If the balance remains unpaid and service is disconnected, a $135 disconnection fee applies.
- Shut-off timeline
- The city publishes the fee sequence but not a universal number of days from due date to physical shutoff. The sequence is: due date; $10 late fee the next day; mailed late notice with a payment deadline; $15 hang-tag fee if unpaid by that deadline; then disconnection with a $135 disconnection fee if the balance remains unpaid.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Westminster's current page identifies a mailed late notice and a hang-tag fee, indicating a physical warning/tag step before disconnection. The exact notice mailing date and the final disconnection date are account-specific; customers should call Water Billing at 714-894-3796 immediately after receiving the notice.
- Reconnection costs
- The current page publishes a $135 disconnection fee but does not state a separate restoration amount or a regular-hours versus after-hours differential. Confirm the full amount required to restore service, including any delinquent balance, before requesting reconnection.
