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
- No universal day-count grace period after the printed due date. Payment is due by 5:00 p.m. on the due date; an account unpaid at that time is late and subject to a 10% penalty. Texas utility-account protections can delay the penalty for customers age 60 or older under applicable law, but customers should verify eligibility with the City.
- Late-fee rules
- Payments made after the printed due date are subject to a 10% penalty on the delinquent amount. Cedar Park mails a late/termination notice the day after the due date to accounts with a balance at 5:00 p.m.; the notice provides the final payment date. The City’s public materials do not state a separate daily interest rate. A $50 reconnect fee is required if service is suspended, and a $50 meter-tampering fee can be assessed if a customer turns water back on after City disconnection.
- Shut-off timeline
- The published progression is: bill due at 5:00 p.m. on the cycle due date; 10% late penalty applies; a late/termination notice is mailed the next day with a final due date; if payment is not received before that notice’s disconnect date, service is suspended; restoration requires payment and a $50 reconnect fee. The City does not publish a fixed number of calendar days between the notice and disconnect date because it is printed on the account-specific notice.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Cedar Park mails a late/termination notice on the day after the due date to every account that still has a balance at 5:00 p.m. The notice supplies the final due date and the planned disconnect date. Current public pages do not document a mandatory automated call, text-to-pay warning, door hanger, or second fixed notice; customers should use the printed notice and call 512-401-5300 immediately if payment has been sent or if a payment arrangement is needed.
- Reconnection costs
- $50 reconnect fee after nonpayment suspension. The City’s public pages do not list a separate after-hours reconnection surcharge; service connections are performed Monday–Friday during the stated 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. window, with 24-hour notice for normal connection requests and no weekend or holiday service. Do not turn the meter on yourself after disconnection because the City may assess a $50 tampering fee and warns that meter tampering is a felony under Texas law.
