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
- Water late penalty is 10% of the first $3.00 plus 3% of the remaining billed balance; sewer late penalty is 10% of the amount billed. A returned-payment fee may also apply under City code.
- Shut-off timeline
- A disconnect notice is sent when an account has an outstanding balance over 45 days. If payment is not received by the notice due date, water service is terminated; a $135.86 disconnect fee is applied before field termination. City code states water service is disconnected for accrued fees and late charges within 60 days of billing and may bar new service for a 45-day-or-more delinquent balance.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Carmel sends a final disconnect/delinquent notice for balances outstanding over 45 days. The customer is told to contact the office immediately; the reviewed page does not identify an additional automated call, text or door-hanger sequence.
- Reconnection costs
- Restoration has no additional fee between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. after the balance is made current. Restoration after 5:00 p.m. is subject to an after-hours fee, and service will not be restored after 9:00 p.m.; City code lists a possible after-hours reconnection fee of $286.20.
