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 calendar days after the bill date. A late charge is assessed once the account becomes delinquent; senior citizens are exempt from penalties.
- Late-fee rules
- The City applies a 10% late charge to delinquent accounts, with a minimum late charge of $2.50 for residential accounts and $15 for commercial accounts. The current payment page states that senior citizens are exempt. In 2026 the City resumed delinquency notices beginning March 1, while the late-fee hold remained in place until further notice in the March 2026 customer bulletin.
- Shut-off timeline
- The ordinary bill is due 20 calendar days after its bill date. North Richland Hills' March 2026 bulletin states that delinquency reminder notices began March 1, 2026 and nonpayment disconnections were scheduled to resume April 1, 2026 after a prior pause; it does not publish a universal number of days from the due date to the field shutoff. The City contacts customers when an account becomes delinquent and gives notice of a pending disconnection.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City asks customers to keep a current phone number because it may call when an account becomes delinquent and a pending service disconnection exists. The online-account page also describes informational broadcasts for water interruptions and calls when a leak requires temporary shutoff. No universal current 2026 door-hanger or text sequence is published on the payment page.
