Delinquent Policy

Penngrove Kenwood Water Company (PKWC) bills are due and payable upon the date of presentation. Bills are rendered monthly, and will be considered past due (delinquent) if not paid within 19 days from the date of mailing. Late fees will be assessed if payments are not received by the 24th of each month. Bills are sent out no later than the 1st of every month.

PKWC will allow every residential customer a total of 79 days from the date of mailing its bill, to make full payment of the bill prior to discontinuance of service.  To discuss a delinquent account, call 707-539-6397. Payment arrangements are possible, so call early if you are unable to pay your bill on time. 

Once services are discontinued for nonpayment, only a full payment for the delinquent balance will be accepted to restore services. PKWC may require a deposit amount of twice the average monthly or bimonthly bill to be rendered to re-establish credit for a customer whose service has been discontinued for nonpayment in accordance to Rule No. 7 .
