How the Penalty Fees Work
Southwest Water is a large umbrella corporation that runs many smaller water companies in rural areas. Each company will have different penalties and fees, depending on various factors. It is best to contact customer service for more information on penalty fees in your state. Customers can expect to pay:
- Late payment fees: Added to your bill when you do not make payment on-time. Late payment fees will likely be added if payment is sent via mail but does not reach the processing department before the due date.
- Collection fee: If customer service comes to your home to collect a past due bill, Southwest Water may charge a fee.
- Reconnect fee: If service is disconnected for non-payment, Southwest will likely charge a fee for reconnection. Reconnect fees are often based on when the reconnect occurs with lower fees being charged during regular business hours and higher fees for night, weekend and holiday reconnects.
