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 2026 rate schedule does not publish a numeric grace-period count. It lists a $10 late fee, a $45 non-payment fee, and a $30 returned-check fee; the due date and any notice timing are account-specific and should be confirmed with Utility Billing.
- Late-fee rules
- Westminster’s 2026 rate schedule lists a flat $10 late fee for residential and commercial accounts. It separately lists a $45 non-payment fee and a $30 returned-check fee. The schedule does not state an interest percentage or escalating late-balance formula.
- Shut-off timeline
- The reviewed current Westminster pages do not publish an exact day-by-day water termination calendar. The water-assistance program states that hardship credits may be available when a bill has remained unpaid at least 35 days, but that is an assistance eligibility condition rather than a confirmed shutoff deadline. Nonpayment incurs the published $45 fee and may lead to service interruption; customers should contact Utility Billing for the account’s notice stage.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Westminster provides mailed/electronic utility-bill and account notifications through Utility Billing and Westy Water; the portal can send email leak alerts and account notifications. The reviewed public pages do not specify a mandatory water shutoff call sequence, SMS delinquency sequence, door hanger, or exact number of legal warnings before termination.
- Reconnection costs
- The 2026 rate schedule lists a $45 non-payment fee, but it does not state a separate regular-hours or after-hours reconnection price. Customers whose service is stopped for nonpayment should confirm the full balance, nonpayment fee, and any field-restoration charge with Utility Billing at (303) 658-2405.
