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 is due on day 21 after the monthly bill is mailed. EMWD’s timeline provides a brief five-day post-due interval: on day 26 the first past-due notice is mailed and the $26 late fee is assessed. The administrative code describes the Board-defined grace period and says overdue balances remain subject to shutoff and reconnection requirements.
- Late-fee rules
- A $26 late fee is assessed on day 26 of the published delinquency timeline. The first past-due notice is mailed at that time. Additional consequences include a $16 door-hanger fee on day 77, possible property-lien action around day 60 for outstanding owner balances, deposit requirements, collection referral, and application of an existing deposit when the account is closed. Returned items must be paid in cash, and EMWD may place or increase a deposit after a delinquency or returned payment.
- Shut-off timeline
- EMWD’s public residential timeline is: day 1 monthly bill mailed; day 21 bill due; day 26 first past-due notice and $26 late fee; day 30 next monthly statement; day 35 second past-due notice; day 45 first automated overdue-payment call; day 55 third past-due notice; day 60 next monthly bill and possible lien against an owner’s property; day 65 second automated call; day 72 final past-due notice; day 77 door hanger and $16 fee; day 83 water service shut off for nonpayment; day 88 account closed, deposit applied if applicable, and balance reported to collections. Multi-family tenants receive a final notice of shutoff on day 65. The administrative policy also requires a mailed notice of intent to disconnect and at least ten days to pay before shutoff.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The process combines mailed notices, automated telephone reminders, and an on-site door hanger. EMWD mails the first past-due notice on day 26, a second on day 35, a third on day 55, and a final past-due notice on day 72; automated overdue-payment calls occur on days 45 and 65; the door hanger is left on day 77. For multi-unit residential structures or mobile-home parks where an owner or manager is the customer of record, the final notice must also be sent to actual users at least ten days before termination. MyAccount can provide text and email payment-status or impending-disconnection notifications. Customers may request a payment extension through MyAccount when the account is in good standing, and may appeal a bill by requesting an explanation or meter reread within ten days of the billing date.
- Reconnection costs
- EMWD’s current public pages do not publish a separate standard delinquent reconnection fee, so the exact residential nonpayment reconnection amount is not publicly documented and should be confirmed with Customer Service. The 2026 additional-services schedule does identify customer-responsibility no-water responses at $171 during working hours and $454 after hours when valves are off or a leak is the customer’s responsibility; those are field-response charges, not expressly labeled delinquent reconnection fees. Full delinquent balances, applicable late/door-hanger fees, and any required deposit must be resolved before restoration.
