Closing Account / Person Responsible for Payment:

The party that initially signed up for service is responsible for the payment of charges until we are contacted to discontinue service or a new party requests to establish a new account. We are unable to backdate account closure dates, and per Hayward Municipal Code, it is the sole responsibility of the account holder to cancel service and close the account. Contact our office at least 48 hours prior to the date you wish to stop service at (510) 583-4600, or email your name, account number, forwarding address, phone number, and the requested service stop date to HSS@hayward-ca.gov. Note – you will receive a final bill.
