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
- One day before the 10% nonpayment charge begins; a further $25 late fee applies if the balance remains unpaid within eight days of the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- The City applies 10% of the billed monthly total one day after the due date, then adds a $25 late fee when the bill is not paid within eight days of the due date. NSF checks are charged $35. A $2 monthly technology fee applies to residential and commercial water or gas customers.
- Shut-off timeline
- The reviewed City page does not publish the initial calendar day of cutoff, but it states that online payment by a customer already on the cutoff/disconnected list does not reconnect service until the next workday. Same-day restoration is available when payment is made by 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday; after-hours restoration requires the after-hours fee, past-due balance, and $25 nonpayment fee.
- Reconnection costs
- Payment by 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday can restore water the same day after the past-due balance and $25 nonpayment fee are paid. After 5:00 p.m. or on weekends, an additional $50 after-hours fee applies, along with the past-due balance and $25 nonpayment fee.
