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
- 35 days after the bill date; the City’s fee schedule states the late-payment fee is assessed when payment is not received 35 days after the bill date.
- Late-fee rules
- The current accessible fee schedule identifies a late-payment fee but marks the amount as to be determined; it also lists a $30 returned-payment fee. A $35 delinquent/disconnect fee is listed in the future fee schedule as assessed when water service is scheduled for shutoff due to nonpayment.
- Shut-off timeline
- The fee schedule states that a delinquent/disconnect fee is assessed when service is scheduled for shutoff; if terminated, reconnection is routed for the next business day unless same-day service is requested. The reviewed City materials do not publish the full notice-to-shutoff calendar.
- Reconnection costs
- A $35 same-day trip charge is listed for same-day service and/or a return trip; the delinquent/disconnect fee is $35 in the revised future-fee schedule. If a service is terminated, the standard route is next-business-day turn-on, with same-day service at the additional trip charge; the reviewed sources do not publish an after-hours flat fee.
