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
- For quarterly-billed accounts, Milwaukee applies 5% per quarter to unpaid water charges and 3% per quarter to other unpaid charges. For monthly-billed accounts, the listed rates are 1.67% for unpaid water and 1% for other charges. Delinquencies remaining 180 days as of October 1 may transfer to the property-tax bill with a 10% transfer fee.
- Reconnection costs
- Water turn-on request is $60 Monday-Friday and $85 Saturday-Sunday. Meter reset is $40 Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and $75 at other times; these are the clearest published regular/after-hours differentials.
