Suspension of Utilities Service Disconnections for Non-Payment in Light of COVID-19
In light of COVID-19, the Tennessee Public Utilities Commission has ordered all natural gas, electric, water, and wastewater public utilities under its jurisdiction to immediately suspend the disconnection of service for non-payment until the state of emergency in Tennessee expires or is formally lifted. Any customer of a regulated natural gas, electric, water, or wastewater public utility whose service was disconnected for lack of payment on or after March 12, 2020, shall be reconnected at no charge. This suspension does not excuse customers from the need to make payments.
