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
- The City warns that conditional payments not honored by a financial institution leave the bill unpaid and assesses a $30 returned-payment fee. The current public water-billing pages reviewed do not state a universal late percentage or fixed delinquency penalty for ordinary past-due balances.
- Reconnection costs
- The current residential rate sheet lists a $109 water turn-on fee and a $109 after-hours citizen water-service request fee. It does not state whether a delinquency reconnection uses a different amount or how payment timing changes the charge.
