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 2026 fee schedule does not state a grace-day count; it lists a 15% late fee/penalty on the current bill. Customers should use the due date on the monthly bill and contact the department before delinquency.
- Late-fee rules
- A 15% late fee/penalty is listed on the current bill in the 2026 rate and fee schedule. Returned checks incur $36.00; a tamper fee is $50-$400 for residential accounts, and a meter reread fee is $25.
- Shut-off timeline
- The reviewed Bartow County pages do not publish a fixed day-by-day shutoff timeline. The 2026 schedule lists a $50 reconnect fee and $50 same-day service fee, so customers should contact the department at (770) 387-5170 before service is interrupted.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The reviewed Bartow County pages do not specify automated calls, text warnings, colored notices or door hangers before nonpayment shutoff. Customers can request outage notifications by submitting contact and service information, but that program is not described as a delinquency-notice sequence.
- Reconnection costs
- The 2026 schedule lists a $50 reconnect fee and a separate $50 same-day service fee. It does not publish an additional night/weekend reconnection differential; calls outside lobby hours are forwarded to Bartow County Dispatch and routed to on-call personnel.
