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
- The rules set the bill due date at 17 days after the applicable monthly bill date. They do not publish an additional post-due grace period before a late charge.
- Late-fee rules
- A late fee of 10% of the utility bill is assessed after the due date, capped at $100. Returned payments may incur a separate fee of up to $50. The rules also authorize service interruption for delinquent balances and state that a $25 trip charge applies when a service person is dispatched to turn water off or on.
- Shut-off timeline
- The public Canton rules state that water may be withheld or turned off for a delinquent account or indebtedness, but they do not publish a fixed calendar sequence from the missed due date to physical disconnection. The only exact timing published is the due date, 17 days after the monthly bill date.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The official materials reviewed do not specify a statutory notice sequence, number of notices, call/text cadence, paper color, door hanger, or final-warning interval. Canton does warn that a delinquent online payment must be reported to the billing office because service can be disrupted before the payment is processed.
- Reconnection costs
- $25 trip charge when a City service person is dispatched to turn water off or on, including delinquent accounts. The published rules and payment pages do not state a separate standard-hours versus after-hours reconnection price or an additional after-hours premium.
