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
- 20 days from the mailing date of the bill; the City states that a 5% late fee applies if the current bill is not paid by the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- A 5% late fee is automatically applied to an unpaid current bill after the stated 20-day due date. The online portal repeats this warning. The reviewed page does not publish a separate interest rate or escalating delinquency percentage.
- Shut-off timeline
- The public page does not give a complete day-by-day shut-off calendar. It documents that a past-due account can be disconnected and that a $25 reconnection fee is required; the customer must call Utility Billing after disconnection and pay the balance and fee before restoration.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City describes the bill due date and late-fee notice but does not expose a full current notice sequence, paper color, automated call cadence, or door-hanger protocol. Its page provides a disconnection/reconnection form and warns that disconnected past-due accounts must contact the office.
- Reconnection costs
- $25 per account after a nonpayment disconnection. Same-day reconnection is stated when payment and the reconnection fee are received, subject to the customer contacting Utility Billing and ensuring faucets and water appliances are off. No separate after-hours fee is published; the after-hours answering-service number is 956-580-8660.
