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

30 days from billing date before interest accrues under the water regulations.

Late-fee calculation

The water regulations state that interest accrues at 12% per year when payment is not received within 30 days; the Town FAQ also publishes a 14% outstanding-water-balance figure, so customers should verify the operative rate on the current bill.

Disconnection timeline

After the 30-day payment period, the Town may shut off service on a business day between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. only after giving 36 hours’ notice in person or by registered/certified mail.

Statutory warning protocol

What notice should you expect?

A 36-hour notice is required in person or by registered/certified mail to the customer’s last furnished address before physical shutoff. The reviewed official pages do not identify a text or automated-call sequence.

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. No current restoration charge or after-hours difference was exposed.

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 Town of Randolph Water and Sewer Division 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.
