Water Shut Off Policy SB 998
Senate Bill 998 (SB 998) states that a customer must be at least 60-days delinquent in payment of a utility bill before a water provider may terminate services. This 60-day requirement before discontinuation of water service will apply to all City of Paramount single-family and multi-family water customers. The State of California adopted Senate Bill No. 998 on September 28, 2018, to establish by statute the Water Shutoff Protection Act (California Health and Safety Code Section 116900). As an urban water supplier with more than 200 service connections, the City is required to comply with the Water Shutoff Protection Act including adoption of a water shutoff policy for nonpayment for residential users to become effective on or before February 1, 2020.
Pursuant to Chapter 6 of Division 104 of California Health and Safety Code 116918
An urban and community water system must report annually on its website and to the State Water Resources Control Board the number of service discontinuations for inability to pay.
