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
- Bills are due 20 days after the mailing date. After that point a 7.5% penalty is charged on the bill as rendered; the Authority can move the account into its delinquent process.
- Late-fee rules
- A 7.5% late fee applies after the 20-day due window. The 2026 schedule also lists a $10 final-notice-letter fee and a $30 second-door-hanger fee; returned payments carry a $35 NSF fee.
- Shut-off timeline
- The public billing rules specify the 20-day due period and delinquent process but do not state an absolute day count from final notice to physical termination. Reconnection requires a $110 water-service reconnection fee and satisfaction of the delinquent balance.
- Warning and notice protocol
- SCBWA publishes a final-notice letter fee of $10 and a second-door-hanger fee of $30, demonstrating written and physical warning stages. The reviewed public schedule does not state the exact calendar days at which those notices are issued.
- Reconnection costs
- The 2026 water-rate schedule lists a $110 reconnection-of-water-service fee. No separate after-hours reconnection amount was published; after-hours calls route to 800-479-0050 for emergency service, while payment/account questions use the main office.
