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.
- Late-fee rules
- A late charge of 5% of the delinquent amount, with a $4 minimum, is stated in the utility guide. Returned checks are charged $25. A past-due account may be disconnected if the balance is not paid by the cutoff date; the current online page directs customers with a past-due or terminated account to pay through the office or a live telephone representative.
- Shut-off timeline
- The reviewed current pages do not state a complete day-by-day calendar. Sanford’s published guide says a past-due balance not paid by the cutoff can result in immediate disconnection without additional notice; the exact cutoff date is account-specific and appears on the bill or notice.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The public payment instructions distinguish past-due and terminated accounts and tell customers to contact Utility Customer Service promptly. They do not identify a complete automated-call, SMS, colored-mailer, door-hanger, or statutory notice sequence, so those steps are recorded as undisclosed rather than inferred.
- Reconnection costs
- Delinquent reconnection is $55 during the normal service window, with an additional $10 for after-hours, weekend, or holiday processing up to the published evening cutoff. A new turn-on is $35 plus $10 after 4:00 p.m.; transfer service is $35. The customer must pay the required balance and charges before restoration.
