The winter home heating moratorium on service disconnections ends April 1. If you are having difficulty paying your energy utility bills, contact your local utility to discuss payment options to avoid service disconnections.
Beginning April 2, customers certified for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) or Home Weatherization Program could be subject to electric or natural gas service disconnection for unpaid bills. LIHEAP funds are limited, but applications are still being accepted by local Community Action Agencies through April 30.
