MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Electric and natural gas customers who need assistance need to do so before the end of the month.
If you have outstanding electric and gas utility bills, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is encouraging you to make payment arrangements with your provider, or apply for financial assistance, before the annual winter heating disconnection moratorium begins November 1st. Under state law, utilities can’t disconnect essential services to residents during the moratorium.
If you are currently disconnected, you’ll need to make arrangements to restore service because utilities aren’t required to reconnect service until payment arrangements are made.
