Payment Plans
If illness, accident or some other
incident drains your financial resources or if you are elderly or living
on a fixed or low income, you may be eligible to have financial
assistance from state or federal governmental agencies which can help
you pay your utility bills. If you need help, please contact your local
County Welfare Office or call the Human Services Department toll-free at
1-800-432-6217. There are some utility companies that have funds for
help on a one-time basis if you cannot pay your bill. Please ask the
utility company if they provide this kind of help. Also a third party
may provide a guarantee of your bill.
Even if financial assistance is not available, the utility will not
cut off service if doing so would harm the life of a seriously ill
person in your home and you provide the utility with a medical
certificate.
