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
- 14 days after the approximate monthly billing date; bills are due 14 days after the billing date, and service may be interrupted seven days after the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- A 5% late charge is applied after the due date. If nonpayment requires dispatching a serviceman, Ward Two assesses a $50 cut-off/administrative fee plus an updated deposit. The published fee schedule also lists a $250 cut-lock/unlock fine and $250 direct-hook-up fine.
- Shut-off timeline
- Monthly bill due 14 days after billing; seven days past the due date may result in interrupted service. A $50 cut-off/administrative fee applies if a serviceman must be dispatched, and the account must satisfy the District’s payment and deposit requirements before restoration. Customers cut off for nonpayment are not treated as after-hours emergencies.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The reviewed Ward Two pages state the due date, seven-day post-due-date interruption risk, and scam warnings, but do not publish the exact mailed, telephone, SMS, or door-hanger warning sequence before cutoff. Customers should contact 225-665-5188 during office hours when a delinquency notice is received.
- Reconnection costs
- The cut-off/administrative fee is $50, with a $40 after-hours fee and any required updated deposit. The published fee schedule also lists a $35 service charge for connects and a $50 transfer fee. Nonpayment cutoffs are not treated as emergencies after hours; the IVR remains available for payment.
