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
- 15 days from the billing date; a late fee is automatically added on the 16th day.
- Late-fee rules
- The current rate ordinance states that bills are due within 15 days of the billing date and adds a late fee on day 16. The accessible schedule does not state a separate percentage or flat late-fee amount; therefore the exact late-fee dollar value is not publicly documented in the published 2026 material.
- Shut-off timeline
- Water service is scheduled for shutoff after 25 days from the billing date when the account remains unpaid, subject to the disconnection notice and applicable city procedures. A $50 processing fee and a disconnection/reconnection deposit are charged to accounts that fail to pay by the deadline on the disconnection notice, even if the physical shutoff is avoided.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The city rate sheet says no second notice is required after the original bill and specifies that a disconnection notice establishes the final payment deadline. The public materials do not document a guaranteed phone, SMS, pink-card, or door-hanger sequence; customers should keep mailing and portal contact details current and contact Utility Billing at 512-759-4055 if a notice is missing.
- Reconnection costs
- $50.00 disconnection/reconnection processing fee during ordinary processing. If an exception is made to reconnect after hours, the $50.00 processing fee is joined by a $50.00 after-hours fee, for a published total of $100.00; the city says it normally will not reconnect after hours.
