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.
- Late-fee rules
- The City's published utility fee schedule lists a late charge of 1% per month of the outstanding bill or $15 minimum, whichever is greater. The same schedule lists a $50 delinquent shutoff charge and a $50 after-hours water turn-on/off charge; customers should confirm the current account notice if a revised ordinance has superseded the posted schedule.
- Shut-off timeline
- The current Auburn page states that if payment is not received, water service will be disconnected and a shutoff fee charged, but it does not provide an exact day-by-day calendar. Customers should treat the due date, reminder/shutoff notice and scheduled shutoff date on the account as controlling; the City's excessive-heat policy can temporarily restore service during a National Weather Service heat warning/advisory.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The reviewed page does not identify a specific automated-call sequence, colored paper, door hanger or statutory notice interval. Auburn publishes the consequence of nonpayment and offers a heat-alert restoration process; customers should monitor the bill, account portal and mailed notices and call (253) 931-3038 before the scheduled shutoff.
- Reconnection costs
- Auburn's current public page does not state a separate standard-hours reconnection amount. The posted municipal fee schedule lists a $50 delinquent shutoff charge and $50 after-hours water turn-on/off charge. During an NWS excessive-heat warning/advisory, restoration requests go to (253) 931-3038 on weekdays or the City's non-emergency number (253) 288-2121 on weekends; past-due balances and related fees remain due before the next scheduled shutoff.
