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 on the 15th; penalties are assessed on the 21st, giving a six-day interval after the stated due date before the regular penalty date.
- Late-fee rules
- The current payment page confirms a penalty date on the 21st but does not expose the current percentage or flat amount. Additional deposit and trip charges may apply after failed arrangements or nonpayment.
- Shut-off timeline
- Due on the 15th, penalty assessed on the 21st, and service may be disconnected after failed payment arrangements, NSF, or customer disconnection without a private shutoff valve. A $50 additional deposit and $35 trip fee are published for those conditions.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The current indexed page does not specify warning-call, text, mailer, door-hanger, or notice-count procedures before physical termination.
- Reconnection costs
- The current Payment Options page lists a $35 trip fee for disconnection caused by failed payment arrangement, NSF, or customer request without a private shutoff valve, and a $50 additional deposit when an account is disconnected for nonpayment. Separate after-hours pricing is not exposed.
