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
- The City does not publish a fixed grace-day count. A $5.00 late fee applies when the bill is not paid by the original due date, and the monthly cutoff date varies; the exact date appears in the message-center block at the bottom of each bill.
- Late-fee rules
- A flat $5.00 late fee is charged after the original due date. Customers placed on the delinquency cutoff list are charged $15.00, plus another $25.00 if reclaimed-water service exists, whether or not the service is physically disconnected; those charges appear on the next monthly bill.
- Shut-off timeline
- Cutoff dates change monthly and are printed on the customer bill. After payment is received, restoration usually occurs the same day between noon and 6:00 p.m., although the City warns that a 24-hour restoration window may apply depending on when payment arrives.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Winter Garden does not publish a universal color-coded notice or automated-call sequence. The cutoff date and customer message are printed on each monthly bill, and the delinquency-list service charge applies whether or not a physical shutoff occurs. Customers should call Utility Billing before the printed date if payment arrangements are needed.
- Reconnection costs
- The City publishes a $15 delinquency cutoff service charge, plus $25 for accounts with reclaimed water, regardless of physical disconnection. It does not publish a separate after-hours reconnection surcharge; restoration generally occurs noon-6:00 p.m. the same day or within 24 hours.
