PA is Lifting Blanket Moratorium on Utility Shutoffs

Pennsylvania is lifting its blanket moratorium on utility shutoffs, despite an earlier pledge to keep it in place for the duration of the pandemic.

The state Public Utility Commission announced Thursday that utilities may disconnect electric, gas, water and other utility services for some customers beginning November 9th.

In March, the commission said that no utility may terminate service so long as the governor’s disaster emergency declaration remained in effect. Wolf has not lifted the emergency order.
