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
- Zero-day grace after the printed due date: the City states the water penalty is added if water/sewer charges are not paid in full by the due date. The printed due date varies with the regional billing date and bill terms.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% late fee is added to water charges and a 5% late fee to sewer treatment charges when not paid in full by the due date. The bill’s adjustment line can include late fees and miscellaneous water credits. Returned online transactions incur a $25.00 fee.
- Shut-off timeline
- The City confirms that a delinquent account can be shut off and that payment of a delinquent bill requires contacting 311 to re-establish service, but the current public pages do not publish the exact number of missed cycles or day-count progression before physical shutoff.
- Reconnection costs
- The current public 2026 pages do not publish a separate reconnection amount or after-hours restoration price. An archived City fee schedule lists $50 for turn-off/on for nonpayment, but that schedule is dated 2022 and is not asserted as the current 2026 charge; customers must confirm with 311 before paying.
