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
- 0 days after the printed due date. The official bill guide states that payments made after the due date are considered late; no additional universal grace period is published.
- Late-fee rules
- The FY2026 specific-service-charge schedule lists a delinquent fee equal to 1% of the delinquent amount due. The account application warns customers to contact WWS if a bill is not received so nonpayment does not cause interruption or late charges. Returned-bank-item charges can also apply under the automatic-payment authorization terms.
- Shut-off timeline
- The monthly bill identifies a due date and treats payment after that date as late. If the balance remains delinquent, WWS may interrupt service and add the published delinquent fee; the current public pages reviewed do not publish a fixed number of calendar days from due date to physical cutoff or a universal residential notice interval. Payment of the delinquent balance and applicable service charges is required to restore service.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The County's current public material warns that nonpayment can interrupt service and that customers should contact Customer Service if a bill is not received. WWS also offers CodeRED phone/email emergency and critical-system alerts. The pages reviewed do not specify a universal delinquency sequence involving automated calls, text messages, colored mailers, door hangers, or a fixed notice lead time before nonpayment shutoff.
- Reconnection costs
- The FY2026 specific-service-charge schedule lists a $25 service-reconnect charge. The same schedule lists a $20 account-reactivation fee, which is distinct from the service-reconnect line item. No separate after-hours reconnection surcharge or guaranteed after-hours restoration window is published; customers should call (954) 831-3250 for account-specific instructions.
