Past Due Accounts

A bill is past due if payment is not received within 21 days from the postmark date. If payment has not been received before the next month billing cycle the previous balance is past due. A past due notice will be mailed. This notice will indicate the shutoff date due to non-payment. If this past due balance is not paid before the shutoff date, the service will be shutoff. To restore service the past due balance and a reconnection service charge must be paid. We will endeavor to restore service the following business day, excluding weekends and holidays.

Customers experiencing challenges in paying their account balances may request the arrangement of an Alternative Payment Plan by completing the Alternative Payment Plan Agreement form. Payment Plan Agreements allow for past due balances to be paid down in increments over time. Payment plan agreements are subject to review and approval at the Discretion of HCSD.

The District’s Payment Plan policy is in compliance with SB998 requirements. Customers with specific eligibility under SB998 may also turn in the SB998 Application form in addition to their completed Payment Plan Agreement Form. 

Customers who do not meet the eligibility requirements under SB998 are also welcome to submit an Alternative Payment Plan Agreement form for consideration.  Approval of payment plans for such customers will be at the discretion of the HCSD.
