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 date of mailing; the current bill is subject to a 5% late fee if it is not paid by the due date.
- Late-fee rules
- A 5% late fee is charged on the current bill when it is not paid by the due date, defined in the City’s utility page as 20 days from mailing. The City also charges $1.25 for automated phone/online payment and 5% for in-person credit-card payment; those are payment-method fees, not delinquency penalties.
- Shut-off timeline
- The published rule provides the 20-day payment period and 5% late fee but does not state the exact calendar day on which field shutoff occurs. Once disconnected for nonpayment, full payment plus the $25 reconnection fee is required; the City says same-day reconnection follows verification and requires faucets to be off.
- Reconnection costs
- $25 for an account disconnected due to nonpayment. Water is reconnected the same day after payment and the fee are verified, provided faucets are off. After-hours callers use 956-580-8660 and an answering service contacts the on-call person; the reviewed page does not state a separate after-hours reconnection dollar amount.
