Cold Weather Rule Helps Prevent Gas Shutoffs
The Cold Weather Rule lets qualifying customers avoid disconnection through April 1 by paying at least 1/12 of past due balances monthly. After April 1, providers may require full payment to restore or maintain service. Disconnections are prohibited when temps are forecast to dip below 35 degrees within 48 hours. Reconnection is possible between November 1 and March 31 for those who enroll in the plan.
