I am worried about being able to pay my gas, electric, and water bills. Will the utility companies shut me off?

The Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) today announced May 29, 2020 that the utility shut-off moratorium for non-residential customers in the state will continue through July 1, 2020.

The separate utility shut-off moratorium for residential customers remains in place for the duration of the public health and civil preparedness emergency declared by Governor Lamont.

Both moratoriums apply to customers of all electric, natural gas, and water utilities regulated by PURA, and prohibit service terminations except in instances of public safety.

Your utilities will not be disconnected during this emergency regardless of payment status if your utility company is listed below. This applies to the following gas, electric, and water companies regulated by PURA. Not all utilities in Connecticut are regulated by PURA, so please check with your utility directly if it is not on this list:

• Gas: Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation, the Southern Connecticut Gas Company, and Eversource
• Electric: Connecticut Light & Power Company (Eversource) and the United Illuminating Company
• Water: Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut, the Avon Water Company, the Connecticut Water Company, the Hazardville Water Company, Heritage Village Water Company, the Jewett City Water Company, the Torrington Water Company, Valley Water Systems Inc., Old Newgate Ridge Water Company Inc., and Preston Plains Water Company
