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
- 15 days after the monthly bill's following-month due date is not a grace period; Cottonwood states that balances not paid by the 15th are subject to a late fee, and an account is considered delinquent at 30 days past due.
- Late-fee rules
- Past-due balances receive a 3% late fee to cover late notices and failed-payment administration. A $50 involuntary disconnect fee is added when water is turned off for delinquency, and the full balance plus the disconnect fee is required to reconnect.
- Shut-off timeline
- Bills are due by the 15th of the following month. At 30 days past due, the account is considered delinquent and subject to shutoff; the customer continues receiving monthly bills showing current charges. The reviewed public policy does not publish a longer calendar of warnings before the field turnoff.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Cottonwood's published policy refers to late notices and monthly bills but does not specify a colored paper, automated calling sequence, text warning, or door hanger. Customers should contact the District at (303) 792-9509 promptly if a balance cannot be paid.
- Reconnection costs
- An involuntary disconnect fee of $50 is added after delinquency shutoff. If payment reaches the office after 2:30 p.m., reconnection occurs the following day; the public policy does not publish a separate after-hours dollar surcharge.
