BWSC Remains Flexible with Assisting Customers Experiencing Financial Difficulties

To assist customers in dealing with the impact of COVID – 19, the Commission suspended its usual collections procedures and the termination of water service for non-payment.  To assure the Commission can continue providing a superior level of service, the resumption of collection activities is necessary.

Beginning with the August 2020 bills, delinquency charges and overtures for payment will recommence. The Commission remains ready to work together with customers in agreeing to manageable payment arrangements to assure there is no interruption in service.  Customers requiring payment assistance should call the Commission’s Collections Department at (617) 989-7070.

For more information on the appeals process, consult the BWSC Billing, Termination and Appeal Regulations (BT&A).
BT&A Regulations

Delinquency Charges

A delinquency charge will be added to any amount not paid within 31 days after the billing date shown on the front of your water and sewer bill. The delinquency charge is calculated at a daily rate of .03836%, which is equal to an annual percentage rate of 14%. BWSC has the authority to foreclose on your property if it remains delinquent six months or longer.

Once a formal demand is made, BWSC will charge 16% interest in lieu of the 14% delinquency charge. BWSC will take the property for past-due charges in the same manner that the City of Boston takes properties for past-due taxes. Similar to the City, BWSC will proceed to foreclosure on properties which remain delinquent six months after the taking.

If you are incurring delinquency charges, call Customer Service at 617-989-7800 for possible assistance.

Account Reactivation

In order to restore water service or understand why your water service has been terminated, please visit the Service Termination and Restoration page.
