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
- The bill’s printed due date controls. If payment is not received by 5:00 p.m. on that date, the City mails one delinquent notice; the customer then has until 5:00 p.m. on the delinquent notice’s due date, with termination on the next business day if full payment or approved arrangements are not received.
- Late-fee rules
- The reviewed City pages specify the delinquent-notice and termination sequence but do not expose a separate universal late-fee percentage or fixed delinquency charge.
- Shut-off timeline
- Due date passes, one delinquent notice is mailed, and if full payment or approved arrangements are not received by 5:00 p.m. on the notice deadline, water service is terminated the next business day.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City’s published protocol is one mailed delinquent notice followed by termination on the next business day after the notice deadline; no separate text, call, or door-hanger sequence was exposed.
