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
- 21 days from the statement date; accounts become past due after that period.
- Late-fee rules
- Accounts not paid by the past-due date are charged the greater of $3 or 2% of the past-due amount, capped at $250 per month. The city advises that failure to receive the bill is not a defense for nonpayment.
- Shut-off timeline
- Bills are due upon receipt, become past due 21 days from the statement date, and accounts with a past-due balance are subject to disconnection 30 days after the statement date. The city may disconnect even when no one is at the premises.
- Warning and notice protocol
- A notice of delinquency may be incorporated into or given with the bill. Clearwater's public policy states that a past-due account is subject to service disconnection 30 days after the statement date; the reviewed page does not describe additional phone, text, or door-hanger steps.
- Reconnection costs
- Clearwater lists a $50 water turn-on fee and a $100 after-hours water turn-on fee after 3:30 p.m. Customers whose service is interrupted for nonpayment should first verify the required payment with Utility Customer Service and then call during regular hours to arrange reconnection.
