More details to this question:
I had paid the bill on line the morning of before they disconnected my water. I told the guys I had already paid it they said we were told to shut it off so oh well. I called the company they said I had to pay a reconnect fee why and why do i have to wait a full day before they turn it back on. Is this legal for them to do. The bill was do on the 25th of January and I paid on February 8th.

It depends on where you live. Some cities or counties have ordinances that regulate how the soon the water can be turned off and about charging a reconnection fee. You would need to check with the department in the area where you live to find out the disconncect/reconnect process.
