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.
- Shut-off timeline
- The current public delinquent-reconnect page does not publish a universal calendar-day progression from missed due date to shutoff. It states that, after disconnection, the customer must pay the full past-due balance plus the current reconnection charges. Historical code language described written notice and a 10-day period, but that older language is not treated here as a confirmed 2026 universal timeline.
- Reconnection costs
- After a delinquency shutoff, payment must include the full past-due balance and a $35 standard reconnection amount, composed of a $25 reconnection fee plus a $10 added deposit. During after-hours service, an additional $25 is charged, making the documented total $60 before any other balance or charge. The Police Department location at 777 N. Galloway accepts payment and can arrange same-day reconnection when paid before 10:00 p.m.; credit cards are not accepted there. After-hours service is reached at (972) 216-6278, and requests after 10:00 p.m. move to the next business day.
