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
- Zero-day grace after the printed due date is the published rule: the March 29, 2026 rate sheet says a 10% late fee applies to accounts paid after the due date. The page does not publish a separate calendar-day buffer.
- Late-fee rules
- A 10% late fee is applied to the utility bill after the due date, capped at $100. Returned payments may incur up to a $50 fee. A $1.70 monthly Meter Replacement Program surcharge applies to each account, with a $1.70 homestead discount; these are not late fees.
- Shut-off timeline
- Canton does not publish an exact day-by-day disconnection calendar. If a customer makes a delinquent online payment, the billing office must be notified because service may be disrupted before the online transaction posts; unpaid charges may also be certified to the Stark County Auditor under the service application.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The current Canton billing page does not specify a fixed number of warning notices, call sequence, colored paper or door hanger. Customers should monitor monthly bills and delinquency communications and call (330) 649-8100 immediately when paying a delinquent account online so the utility can verify the payment.
- Reconnection costs
- The 2026 rate sheet lists a $25 service-person trip charge for turning water off or on, including delinquent accounts. The reviewed current pages do not publish a separate after-hours restoration premium; a $500 charge applies to each separately tampered or damaged meter/transmitting-unit/shutoff-valve item.
