Delinquency and service protection

Understand the shut-off process before it reaches your door

The safest time to ask about a past-due balance, payment arrangement, or hardship protection is before the final notice. This page translates the provider’s published rules into a practical checklist.

Notice and timing

How delinquency is handled

Grace period after the due date

5 days after the bill due date, based on the current residential utility application; the application says a delinquent account may be disconnected when it remains unpaid five days after the due date.

Late-fee calculation

The Lehi residential application states that a penalty of 1.5% per month is added to a delinquent account. The customer must also pay delinquent charges and the applicable reconnection fee before service is restored; reasonable collection expenses, attorney fees, and court costs may be charged when an account is terminated and collected.

Disconnection timeline

The published application establishes due date, then delinquency after the due date, and allows disconnection after five additional days without payment. It does not publish a longer calendar sequence for reminder notices, protected residential customers, or the precise field-work date, so the five-day threshold should be treated as the City's stated minimum rather than a guaranteed shutoff date.

Statutory warning protocol

What notice should you expect?

The reviewed Lehi application gives the contractual five-day delinquency threshold but does not specify whether the City uses phone calls, text messages, colored notices, door hangers, or a separate final-disconnection letter. Customers should monitor the monthly statement and contact Utility Billing immediately if a delinquency notice is received.

If a notice seems wrong

Document the account balance, payment confirmation, notice date, and any household medical or accessibility concern. Then call the provider using the contact information on its official bill or profile before the stated deadline.

Restoring service

Reconnection costs and timing

A dedicated this detail was not publicly posted. For a current published dollar amount. Lehi states that delinquent charges and a reconnection fee must be paid before restoration, but the reviewed 2026 public pages do not identify standard-hours versus after-hours reconnection pricing. Water and sewer emergencies are routed to 801-836-1045 outside regular hours.

Need a payment arrangement?

Ask before the shut-off date

Tell the customer-service representative that you are responding to a delinquency notice and ask specifically about installment plans, hardship protection, charity referrals, and the amount required to stop the disconnection order.

Customer protection guide

What to do when a bill becomes urgent

A delinquency notice from Lehi City Utilities - Culinary Water and Sewer should be treated as a time-sensitive account document. Read the exact due date, amount required, notice method, and contact instructions on the notice, then compare them with the provider details in this guide.

If you have already paid, gather the confirmation number and posting date. If you cannot pay the full amount, call before the stated shut-off date and ask about arrangements, hardship protections, agency referrals, and the minimum amount needed to pause action.

Keep the conversation specific: ask what will stop the order, when the payment must post, whether a reconnection fee applies, and whether the utility requires a separate request for medical, accessibility, or household-protection status.
