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
- Payment is due early in the first week of the month after the billing month; the 2026 bill states that the 10% penalty applies if payment is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% penalty applies to water, sewer, and sanitation charges when payment has not been received by 5:00 p.m. on the due date. The 2026 bill and eBilling page do not publish an additional percentage or escalating interest schedule.
- Shut-off timeline
- Service will be discontinued if the bill remains unpaid for more than 30 days after the due date shown on the statement. Restoration requires all arrears plus a $25 charge during regular service; after-hours restoration carries a $75 charge.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Evanston's 2026 bill states the due date, 10% penalty, and more-than-30-days-after-due-date discontinuation rule. The reviewed public eBilling page does not specify a universal call, text, door-hanger, or colored-mailer sequence; customers should use 311 to request a payment arrangement or dispute/high-usage review before the cutoff.
- Reconnection costs
- $25 additional charge to reinstate water service during regular service, after all arrears are paid; $75 if water is turned on after hours. The current public page does not state a separate night/weekend schedule beyond the after-hours amount.
