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 new portal transition states due dates remain 21 days after the statement date. The current fee schedule charges 10% of the bill as the late-payment fee; the public page does not separately state a grace period beyond the printed due date.
- Late-fee rules
- Late payment is 10% of the bill. Additional published past-due fees include a $20 door-tag notice and $40 shutoff late-payment fee. Tampering fees are $50 locked nonpay, $40 damaged lock/plug, $75 pulled meter nonpay, and $100 straight-line. Service activation is $25; same-day service call $50; multiple trip $30.
- Shut-off timeline
- A current printed calendar progression is not fully reproduced on the public rate page. The published fee schedule identifies the $20 door-tag notice and $40 shutoff-late-payment fee; customers with a past-due account should contact Water Billing at (972) 237-8200. The current portal provides late/interruption alerts, but public pages reviewed do not state an exact day count from due date to physical shutoff.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The current portal provides bill reminders, late notices, and interruption notifications; customers may choose email or SMS after registering their phone. A $20 door-tag notice fee is listed for nonpayment. The City does not publish a universal automated-call sequence or fixed number of days for all accounts on the current public rate page.
- Reconnection costs
- The current service-fee schedule lists a $40 shutoff-late-payment fee. After-hours restoration fees are not separately displayed on the rate page; the City warns that multiple trips cost $30 and that same-day service calls cost $50. Confirm the current account-specific restoration amount with Water Billing or the 24/7 emergency line.
