Recovery action
We provide 21 days to pay your Hunter Water bill. If payments aren’t made on time and if you haven’t contacted us for assistance, then we will take actions to recover any overdue amounts.
Please reach out and talk to us about your situation so we can help you avoid recovery steps.
Read more in our Debt Recovery and Hardship Policy.
Please note:
- You'll get a Final Notice saying your account is unpaid after 21 days.
- We might restrict your water supply. If we do, you'll need to pay the overdue amount, plus a connection fee, to lift the restriction.
- A collection agency might be engaged to recover the outstanding amount.
- We may start legal action to recover the outstanding amount.
