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
- The City gives 28 days after the bill is mailed before delivering a suspension notice; service is suspended 14 days after that notice if the account is not paid in full.
- Late-fee rules
- Accounts suspended for nonpayment incur a $48 delinquent fee and an $18 reinstatement fee for each service. The full delinquent amount must be paid before service is restored; the City also warns that scheduling an online payment after the disconnect date does not ensure uninterrupted service.
- Shut-off timeline
- Day 0 is the bill mailing. If unpaid by day 28, Yakima delivers a suspension notice; service is suspended 14 days later, approximately day 42. Restoration requires the delinquent balance plus the $48 delinquent fee and $18 reinstatement fee for each affected service. After-hours water meter turn-ons carry a $52 fee when the account is active and current.
- Warning and notice protocol
- The City states that a suspension notice is delivered after an account remains unpaid 28 days after mailing. The reviewed page does not state whether the notice is mailed, hand-delivered, telephoned, texted, or accompanied by a door hanger; customers should treat the delivered suspension notice as the final published warning.
- Reconnection costs
- A suspended account is charged an $18 reinstatement fee for each service, in addition to the $48 delinquent fee and delinquent balance. An after-hours water meter turn-on fee of $52 applies only when the account is active and current; the reviewed page does not publish a separate regular-hours turn-on fee.
