PSB tightens rules after years of delay on disconnections
The Public Service Board in Montpelier adopts strict limits on utility disconnections and deposits after years of delay. New policy allows continued service if customers make a good faith payment effort, sets notice and cure periods, bans disconnections for small bills or nonrecurring charges, and outlines installment plans. The rules reflect prior court rulings and legislative actions dating back to 1973 and 1975.
