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 grace period after the printed due date. The FY27 fee schedule states that the 10% late fee is assessed immediately if payment has not been received by the bill due date. YLWD mails a late-fee notice approximately two days after the bill is due as a reminder; the notice is informational and does not postpone the assessment.
Late-fee rules
The adopted customer-service fee schedule imposes a late-payment fee equal to 10% of outstanding charges, assessed immediately when the bill is not paid by its due date. A late-fee notice is mailed approximately two days afterward. The same schedule lists $45 for a returned check and $45 for a rejected ACH. Customers should distinguish the late fee from the separate $15 Notice of Discontinuance fee and $50 shutoff fee.
Shut-off timeline
Day 0 is the billing date. The account is immediately subject to the 10% late fee after the printed due date passes. At day 37 from the billing date, YLWD posts a yellow Notice of Discontinuance on the door; the District describes this as a 72-hour notice before shutoff and lists a $15 notice fee. At day 44 from the billing date, if the balance remains unpaid or no approved arrangement applies, a representative is sent to discontinue service and the $50 nonpayment shutoff fee is charged. Re-establishing service costs $50 during business hours or $235 after hours, in addition to all amounts due.
Warning and notice protocol
YLWD mails a late-fee reminder approximately two days after the due date. The adopted schedule then calls for a yellow Notice of Discontinuance to be posted on the customer’s door 37 days from the billing date, serving as a 72-hour pre-shutoff notice and carrying a $15 fee. The Board’s SB 998 policy provides additional residential protections for medical and financial hardship, payment arrangements, and notice procedures; customers should call (714) 701-3000 promptly to dispute the bill or establish a plan. The District’s emergency information page separately publishes the same number 24 hours a day for water and sewer emergencies.
Reconnection costs
The adopted 2026 customer-service fee schedule lists $50 to re-establish service during business hours, defined as 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding holidays, and $235 after 4:30 p.m. or before 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. The customer must also pay the delinquent balance, late fee, shutoff fee, and any other charges. The schedule lists $50 for the original shutoff due to nonpayment and $15 for the posted Notice of Discontinuance.
