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 standard bill is due 20 days after issuance. The reviewed public utility pages do not publish a separate universal grace period after that due date before a late penalty or shutoff notice.
- Late-fee rules
- Garland’s utility code and published audit materials identify a late-payment penalty of 5% on unpaid water balances. Online or IVR convenience fees are separate processing charges, not delinquency penalties. Customers who cannot pay should contact Utility Customer Service at 972-205-2671 before interruption to discuss payment arrangements.
- Shut-off timeline
- Day 0 is the monthly bill issue date; payment is due on day 20. Garland’s public materials explain past-due notices and require a customer to call after paying a disconnected account so staff can arrange reconnection, but do not publish one exact day-count from the due date to physical shutoff. The timeline can depend on notices, account status, payment posting, and city reconnect hours.
- Warning and notice protocol
- Garland uses monthly statements, past-due correspondence, account contacts, and customer-service instructions rather than publishing a universal colored-paper or door-hanger sequence. If service is disconnected and payment is made online or by phone, the customer must retain the Fiserv confirmation number and call 972-205-2671 to arrange reconnection. Customers can request payment arrangements before interruption.
- Reconnection costs
- A universal current reconnection dollar amount is not exposed on the reviewed Garland pages. After a disconnection, the customer must call 972-205-2671 with the payment confirmation; after-hours reconnect service operates Monday-Thursday 5:00-7:00 p.m. and Friday 5:00-6:30 p.m., with no weekend after-hours window published. Any applicable restoration charge, deposit, or delinquent balance is confirmed by Customer Service.
