#CallUtilitiesNow

Through its ongoing #CallUtilitiesNow campaign, the Commission continues encouraging consumers and small businesses experiencing financial difficulty to #KeepUtlitiesOn by contacting their utilities – whether the financial difficulties are related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing state and national recovery, or other challenging circumstances. 

The PUC emphasizes that direct conversations between customers and utilities are the best “first step” to get needed information and discuss options to remain connected to vital utility services.
