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
- Bills are due and payable at the office or designated agent on the date of issue; service may be terminated only after five days’ written termination notice and twenty days have elapsed since mailing of the original unpaid bill.
- Late-fee rules
- The reviewed current rate and rules pages do not expose a fixed late-fee percentage; the District may require deposits, and deposits accrue interest at the lawful rate until refunded.
- Shut-off timeline
- For nonpayment, the District must provide five days’ written notice of termination and wait twenty days from mailing the original unpaid bill before discontinuing service. A physician, nurse, or public-health certificate can delay termination for qualifying illness until alternative arrangements or 30 days after certification, whichever comes first.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Written termination notice is required at least five days before service is discontinued, after the original unpaid bill has been outstanding for 20 days. The reviewed rules do not describe automated calls, texts, or door hangers.
- Reconnection costs
- $12.50 reconnection charge after water has been turned off for customer request or delinquent nonpayment; all delinquent bills and other charges must be paid before reconnection. No after-hours differential was exposed.
