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
- 15 days after the bill due date, based on ECWA's published delinquent-charge notice and tariff terms. The 2026 tariff states bills are payable 15 days after rendering; ECWA public notices describe a 10% delinquent charge unless payment is received within 15 days after the due date specified on the bill.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% delinquent charge is assessed when the bill remains unpaid beyond the published 15-day payment period. Exact compounding, minimums, or returned-payment amounts are not enumerated on the current payment page; the account-specific notice and tariff control.
