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.
- Late-fee rules
- The current BPUB connection-fee schedule lists a late-payment penalty of 6% of the amount past due. The printed statement controls when the penalty appears and identifies the applicable amount; the public pages reviewed do not publish a separate daily interest rate or escalating schedule.
- Warning and notice protocol
- BPUB's published disconnection guidance says customers with past-due balances are notified before service is disconnected and that disconnections occur only during normal business hours. It does not identify a fixed 2026 sequence of automated calls, SMS messages, colored mailers, or door hangers. Customers can use the online payment-arrangement feature or call (956) 983-6121 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Reconnection costs
- The current BPUB fee schedule lists $75 for reconnection after non-payment and $75 for after-hours reconnection. A weekend non-payment reconnect, defined as Friday 5:00 p.m. through Monday 8:00 a.m., is $150. The schedule separately lists $150 for reconnecting water after plugging; other charges may apply if service was cut for theft or unauthorized access.
