Water, Gas, and Electricity
No household may have its electricity, gas service, or water service shut off for nonpayment. This moratorium on utility shutoffs is extended to at least June 30, 2021 and applies to all residential gas, electric and water utilities, both public and private. If there is any customer whose service has been disconnected since March 16, 2020, their service must be reconnected. In addition, utilities will not be charging late fees nor fees to reconnect services that have been disconnected. Although utility service shutoffs are still suspended, customers are still encouraged to set up payment plans with their utilities so they can begin paying their bills, if they are able, over a period of time.
