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 current residential discontinuation policy does not state a universal number of days after the bill date because the bill itself supplies the due date. An unpaid bill is delinquent under the account’s stated payment period, and the District may discontinue residential water service when the bill has been delinquent for at least 60 days.
Shut-off timeline
The bill establishes the due date. Once a residential bill is delinquent for at least 60 days, MNWD may discontinue service, but it will not perform the shutoff on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or when the office is closed. A mailed notice is sent at least 15 days before discontinuation; qualifying occupants or tenants receive notice at least 10 days before; the District makes a good-faith telephone or in-person contact attempt at least 7 days before; if contact fails, a notice and policy copy are left conspicuously at least 48 hours before shutoff. A final notice under a failed payment arrangement is posted at least five business days before discontinuation.
Warning and notice protocol
The mailed notice identifies the customer, delinquent amount, payment or arrangement deadline, payment-arrangement procedure, financial-assistance information, and a District contact number. For master-metered or separately occupied residential properties, an occupant notice is sent to the service address and explains the right to become the customer without assuming the landlord’s delinquency when legal conditions are met. MNWD also makes a reasonable good-faith telephone or in-person contact attempt, and if unsuccessful posts an imminent-discontinuation notice and policy at the property. Medical hardship, financial hardship, active disputes, appeals, and compliant payment plans can prevent discontinuation under the policy.
Reconnection costs
The current policy requires payment of all past-due amounts, applicable interest or penalties and costs, any reconnection fee, and any required security deposit before restoration; alternatively, a qualifying customer may enter a six-month payment plan with the first payment due at restoration. The current 2026 public fee schedule does not publish a definitive regular-hours versus after-hours reconnection dollar amount, so both amounts are not publicly documented pending confirmation from MNWD Billing.
