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.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% penalty is added to unpaid water/wastewater charges under the current City schedule, with later bills carrying the applicable delinquent balance and service charges. The rate schedule also lists specific application, reconnection, meter, and repeat-service-call charges.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City sends a billing or delinquency notice with the applicable turnoff date and directs customers to have payment received before that date. The reviewed pages do not confirm a particular pink notice, automated-call sequence, text keyword, or door-hanger procedure; customers should call Utility Billing promptly if the account is disputed or hardship assistance is needed.
- Reconnection costs
- The FY2026 schedule lists a $50 water reconnection charge during the regular 8 a.m.-4 p.m. window and $100 after 4 p.m. Other listed charges include a $50 application fee, $50 meter pull/install charge, and $100 repeat service call where applicable.
