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
- 30 days after the due date before the Town may mail a printed demand; the demand gives an additional ten days before water can be cut off if the rates remain unpaid.
- Shut-off timeline
- If water rents remain unpaid for 30 days after the due date, the Town may mail a printed demand to the property owner. Unless payment is made within ten days after that demand, the Town may cut off the water supply, producing an approximately 40-day post-due-date progression.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The ordinance requires a printed demand mailed to the owner after 30 days of nonpayment and allows ten days for payment before cutoff. The reviewed pages do not identify automated call, text, or door-hanger notices.
