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 business days from billing; payment is due within that period.
- Late-fee rules
- A $5 late fee applies when the bill is not paid by the due date. A delinquency-related shutoff or locked meter carries a $30 disconnection charge, a pulled meter carries $50, and a returned check or bank draft carries $40.
- Shut-off timeline
- The reviewed City page specifies the 14-business-day payment deadline and disconnection charges but does not expose the exact day-by-day warning and termination calendar.
- Reconnection costs
- $30 disconnection charge for a delinquency-related shutoff or locked meter; $50 if the meter has been pulled. No separate after-hours differential was exposed.
