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
- 30 days from the billing date is the stated due-date rule; after the due date the account is in arrears and interest applies. A separate penalty-free grace period was not stated.
- Late-fee rules
- Overdue current water/sewer bills accrue interest at 14% annually. Payment is applied first to interest and charges, then to arrears and the current bill. Fourteen days after the fourth-quarter bill’s due date, the Town issues a demand bill adding the balance, accrued interest, and a $5 demand fee; the demand bill is due 14 days after mailing. Balances outstanding for the quarter ending June 30 are transferred to property-tax collection.
- Shut-off timeline
- The reviewed Town code describes arrears, demand-bill timing, and June 30 tax transfer but did not publish a fixed physical water-disconnection day count.
- Warning and notice protocol
- A formal demand bill is issued 14 days after the fourth-quarter due date and is due 14 days after mailing; no separate telephone, text, or door-hanger sequence was published in the reviewed source.
