Delinquency and service protection

Understand the shut-off process before it reaches your door

The safest time to ask about a past-due balance, payment arrangement, or hardship protection is before the final notice. This page translates the provider’s published rules into a practical checklist.

Notice and timing

How delinquency is handled

Grace period after the due date

Payment is due no later than 5 p.m. on the printed billing due date. Payments after that deadline are subject to penalty; the current accessible payment page does not state a separate grace-period day count.

Late-fee calculation

The City states that payments after 5 p.m. on the due date are subject to penalty but the current amount or percentage is not exposed on the public payment page. not publicly stated pending the bill or current utility rules.

Disconnection timeline

The reviewed current Boerne pages do not publish a fixed day-by-day delinquency sequence. Customers should call Customer Care and Billing before the printed due date or any cutoff notice; exact notice and disconnection timing is not publicly stated.

Statutory warning protocol

What notice should you expect?

No current page specifies the number or medium of delinquency warnings. The City publishes due-date and penalty instructions and directs customers to Customer Care; automated calls, text notices, door hangers, and mailer cadence are not publicly stated.

If a notice seems wrong

Document the account balance, payment confirmation, notice date, and any household medical or accessibility concern. Then call the provider using the contact information on its official bill or profile before the stated deadline.

Restoring service

Reconnection costs and timing

The reviewed current public pages do not expose a current standard or after-hours delinquency reconnection fee. The utility's after-hours contact is 830-248-1633; confirm any fee before requesting restoration.

Need a payment arrangement?

Ask before the shut-off date

Tell the customer-service representative that you are responding to a delinquency notice and ask specifically about installment plans, hardship protection, charity referrals, and the amount required to stop the disconnection order.

Customer protection guide

What to do when a bill becomes urgent

A delinquency notice from Boerne Utilities Customer Care and Billing should be treated as a time-sensitive account document. Read the exact due date, amount required, notice method, and contact instructions on the notice, then compare them with the provider details in this guide.

If you have already paid, gather the confirmation number and posting date. If you cannot pay the full amount, call before the stated shut-off date and ask about arrangements, hardship protections, agency referrals, and the minimum amount needed to pause action.

Keep the conversation specific: ask what will stop the order, when the payment must post, whether a reconnection fee applies, and whether the utility requires a separate request for medical, accessibility, or household-protection status.
