The bill for canal water service shall be delinquent if not paid within 40 days from the date it is rendered.

If charges billed are not paid by the fiftieth day from the date it is rendered, CVWD may discontinue service until such charges are paid in full.

When delinquency occurs, CVWD will provide to the customer notice of delinquency and impending denial of canal water delivery at least 10 days prior to the proposed denial by means of a notice mailed to the customer to whom canal water service is billed. CVWD will make a reasonable effort to notify customer and property owner of the impending denial of canal water delivery. Reasonable effort will include a personal phone call to the company principal listed on the application for service or updated information.

If the manner of payment of the delinquent amount is not accepted by the paying bank for any reason, canal water service may be denied immediately without further notice. Canal water service will not be restored until all outstanding charges are paid in full, including a return payment charge as applicable in CVWDC 3.10.190(B).
