Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly; Dalton Utilities states that bills are issued monthly, with the billing date determined by service location. Payments are due within 10 days of the bill date.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Dalton Utilities supplies both water and wastewater, but the reviewed public pages do not state whether residential sewer is based on metered water intake, a winter average, a flat percentage, a maximum cap or a separate flat charge. Customers should request the current water-and-wastewater tariff from customer service.
- New-account deposit
- Deposits are required on rental or lease accounts, including commercial accounts, depending on service location and meter size/type; deposits start at $50.00. When service ends, the deposit is applied to any outstanding balance and any remaining credit is refunded by check after final billing. The reviewed terms do not publish a universal credit-check waiver.
- Activation or transfer fee
- A $25.00 move fee is added when a tenant moves into or out of a property. Reinstated service requires all past-due amounts plus any applicable deposit and service fees; the reviewed terms do not publish a separate ownership-transfer fee.
