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
- 14 days after the due date before the City's stated termination timing for an unpaid account.
- Late-fee rules
- The reviewed FY2026 Fort Myers pages do not expose a separate percentage late fee; the financial consequence emphasized in the utility rules is a $70 delinquent-service charge when service is terminated, in addition to the entire past-due balance and any required deposit.
- Shut-off timeline
- If an account remains unpaid, service may be terminated 14 days after the due date. Restoration requires payment of the complete bill, the $70 delinquent-service charge, and any increased deposit; after-hours restoration is charged at the published after-hours rate.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City publishes the 14-day termination point but the reviewed 2026 pages do not give a complete sequence of colored notices, automated calls, texts, or door hangers. Customers should monitor the account, respond to the City's delinquency notice, and contact Utility Billing immediately if a payment is disputed or an arrangement is needed.
- Reconnection costs
- The FY2026 schedule lists a $70 delinquent service charge for restoration during regular processing and a $90 after-hours restoration charge. A second service trip is listed at $35; all past-due balances and any required deposit are separate.
