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
- The County’s published sample water bill states that a 10% late fee is charged if payment is not received by the due date. The reviewed current pages do not publish an additional 2026 escalating interest schedule.
- Shut-off timeline
- Service may be suspended for nonpayment after the account progresses through the County’s delinquency process; the reviewed public pages do not publish a complete current day-by-day calendar from due date to physical shutoff. Customers with suspended service are directed to call the Water Business Office at 706-613-3500.
