Home / As Residents Pile Up $280 Million in Utility Bills, Aid Organizations Scramble to Help
On September 15, 2021, Connecticut’s moratorium on utility shut-offs expired. Low-income families in Connecticut will now have to contend with the possibility of their electricity and heat being shut off this winter. CCA attorney Bonnie Roswig, however, says that help is available.
“Any customer enrolled in and making payments on a payment plan also can’t be shut off. There are payment plans available specifically for low-income customers, and everyone with an overdue balance is eligible to sign up for a COVID-19 payment plan until the end of September – or until Gov. Ned Lamont’s emergency powers expire, if lawmakers decide to extend them in a special session this month.”
