10% penalty
A 10% penalty is added if payment is late.

Situation |
Official rule / risk |
Best action |
|---|---|---|
Bill generated on the 15th or 30th |
Due date is 20 days after billing date. |
Use portal reminders or paperless billing so you do not miss the due window. |
Payment missed by due date |
10% penalty is added to amount due. |
Pay fastest official route and confirm new total with Customer Service. |
Cannot pay before cutoff risk |
Extension up to 10 calendar days may be requested if service is not already interrupted. |
Complete and sign Utility Payment Extension Agreement before interruption. |
Extension frequency |
Extensions are available only once every three months, maximum four times in 12 months, and cannot be consecutive. |
Do not rely on extensions as a recurring payment plan. |
Broken extension |
Failure to comply can lead to disconnection without further notice, 12-month extension ineligibility and $27.50 reconnect service fee. |
Pay exactly by agreement deadline. |
Service already interrupted |
No payment arrangements or extensions are allowed once service is interrupted. |
Pay all past-due amounts and the $27.50 disconnection fee in full. |
Payment after 5:30 PM |
No same-day reconnection; service restored next business day after full payment. |
Email payments@rowlett.com and call next business day if needed. |
Returned check / NSF |
Returned checks due to insufficient funds are subject to immediate disconnection, $25 NSF fee and $27.50 disconnect fee. |
Use a reliable payment method and verify bank/card details. |
After-hours number used for nonpayment reconnect |
After-hours line is emergency only; non-emergency calls may result in $50 fee. |
Handle nonpayment reconnection through Utility Billing during business hours. |
Reconnection shortcut: after service is disconnected, pay the full past-due amount plus required fees, then notify the office. Drop-box payments are not the right route for interrupted service because staff must know payment has been made before restoration can be processed.

High Rowlett Water Bill, AMI Usage Alerts and Leak Adjustment
AMI hourly usage
Rowlett says AMI reads every hour, so customers can create a profile, set alerts and spot possible leaks before the bill arrives.
Leak proof required
Leak-adjustment review requires proof of an actual leak and repair documentation.
Not every leak qualifies
Sprinkler systems, swimming pools, pool equipment, toilets and other noticeable above-ground leaks are excluded from adjustment.
High-bill check |
What to do |
Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Create AMI profile |
Go to Rowlett AMI link and create a water-usage profile. |
Hourly usage can show overnight flow, irrigation spikes or continuous leak patterns. |
Check common usage changes |
Review extra lawn watering, guests, pool fill, irrigation controller changes and seasonal heat. |
Normal behavior changes often explain higher consumption. |
Inspect private-side leaks |
Check toilets, faucets, hose bibs, softener, irrigation, pool equipment and wet spots. |
Customers are responsible for leaks from the meter connection to the customer service line and beyond. |
Request meter re-read |
After checking usage/leaks, call 972-412-6105 or email utilities@rowlett.com. |
Ask for re-read when the bill still appears wrong. |
Leak adjustment frequency |
Only one leak adjustment is allowed in a rolling 12-month period. |
Save adjustment request for qualifying repair-backed leaks. |
Adjustment calculation |
City uses prior-year consumption for the adjusted month, or prior 6-month average if 12 months unavailable. |
No history means no adjustment is given. |
Adjustment amount |
Limited to 50% of consumption attributable to the leak, at the rate billed. |
Adjustment does not erase the full bill. |
Maximum adjusted period |
Maximum of two months. |
Fix leaks quickly and document repair date. |
Commercial / irrigation-only accounts |
Not eligible for leak adjustments. |
Budget and repair quickly if those account types have leaks. |
