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 before the listed late-payment fee is assessed; the City’s fee schedule does not identify the fee amount because it is marked to be determined.
- Late-fee rules
- The City’s utility fee schedule lists a late-payment fee assessed when payment is not received 35 days after the bill date, with the amount marked to be determined. A $32 delinquent fee is assessed when water service is scheduled for shutoff due to nonpayment. Returned payments incur a $30 fee; unauthorized restoration and meter tampering carry separate $50 and $100 fees.
- Shut-off timeline
- At 35 days after the bill date, the listed late-payment fee may be assessed; when service is scheduled for shutoff, a $32 delinquent fee is added. If the City terminates service, reconnection is routed for the next business-day turn-on; the current public fee schedule does not state the exact notice date or physical shutoff hour.
- Reconnection costs
- If water is terminated for nonpayment, the fee schedule routes reconnection for the next business-day turn-on and says a same-day request incurs an additional $24 same-day trip charge. A $32 delinquent fee is assessed at scheduling. The schedule does not state a separate standard reconnection base fee beyond these charges.
