Utilities currently offer payment programs to assist with missed payments caused by Covid-19 or based on financial hardship. Follow the link below to the utility for descriptions and to find which payment program is right for you. Contact your utility to enroll. Shutoff protection has ended for customers not designated financial hardship or not currently enrolled in a payment program. Your utility will contact you prior to shut off. 

For a summary of payment assistance programs, view this Guide and this Presentation.
