The San Diego Mayor and City Council, on July 18, 2000, approved the Public Utilities Department billing and collection policies. These policies mostly apply to customers who don't pay their water and sewer bills on time.
Important components of the policies and procedures include:
- Backbilling. The Public Utilities Department is obligated to bill for all services provided.
- Extensions. Extensions can only be granted by Public Utilities Department management under limited conditions. These include: health and safety, legal negotiations, or if, by not granting one, there would be a negative impact on other ratepayers.
- Deferred Payments. The Public Utilities Department has the authority to grant a deferred payment for up to 12 months. Payment must be made within one year or referred to City Treasurer.
- Security Deposits. The deposit, for those customers requiring one, is equal to two average billing periods.
For more information, please contact the Public Utilities Department at (619) 515-3500.
