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 current GCWW pages do not state a universal grace period after the printed due date. The bill is mailed 21 days in advance, and GCWW says failure to pay all charges in full by the due date may produce late fees and disconnection. Customers who cannot pay should contact (513) 591-7700 immediately; a payment-plan down payment may be required. The dated due date and any account-specific delinquency notice control rather than an assumed statutory grace period.
Late-fee rules
GCWW assesses late fees on each monthly bill based on the total past-due amount. The current billing page states that the fee is calculated at a net annual rate of 10%, with the amount varying according to the number of days in the billing period. A $30 payment-reversal charge may apply when a check or other payment fails to clear. PromisePay payment plans are interest-free, but a customer must continue paying current bills to remain protected from the delinquency/shutoff process.
Shut-off timeline
GCWW does not publish one fixed day-count from due date to field disconnection in the current consumer pages. The account becomes subject to late fees and possible disconnection when all charges are not paid by the printed due date; GCWW sends account-specific notices and offers PromisePay or other arrangements before the field action. If the service is disconnected for nonpayment, the customer must pay the bill, then call (513) 591-7700 to confirm restoration. A disconnection trip charge of at least $35 applies, and same-business-day reconnection may be available when payment or a satisfactory resolution is received by 3:00 p.m.
Warning and notice protocol
GCWW communicates delinquency and assistance options through the account bill and direct account-specific communications. During the resumed shutoff program, official GCWW materials describe letters, text messages, and phone calls to customers eligible for shutoff; the current practice also directs customers to call immediately if they cannot pay by the due date. PromisePay enrollment can remove an account from the delinquency/shutoff list when the customer keeps current charges paid. Landlord/tenant arrangements do not release the property owner from GCWW liability, although authorized tenants may be able to arrange payment to prevent or reverse a shutoff.
Reconnection costs
When GCWW makes a nonpayment or rule-compliance disconnection trip, a minimum $35 disconnection trip charge is added, with higher charges possible when extra resources are required. After the required payment or satisfactory resolution, the customer must call (513) 591-7700; service may be restored the same business day if the resolution is received by 3:00 p.m. GCWW does not publish a separate after-hours reconnection premium in the current 2026 material, and the customer-service line is the required confirmation path.
