Information on Do Not Disconnect Order

To all Members:

The “Do Not Disconnect Order”, which was put into effect on March 15th under the emergency powers of the State of Emergency Order that was issued by Governor Reeves, has been extended to May 26th. The order was set to expire on May 15th but has been extended for 11 days. This order will not be extended any further after this date. The reasoning behind the extension is to get this information to those customers that are delinquent and inform them that their utilities will be or will be subject to termination starting on Wednesday morning, May 27, 2020.

The Mississippi Public Service Commission will do a media blast trying to get this information out to the public, however, you as the utility may want to notify these customers and let them know that they need to be making arrangements to pay their bills prior to 5 o’clock p.m. on Tuesday, May 26th, 2020. I know that the majority of your delinquent accounts have grown considerably during this emergency order, hopefully by giving this notice it will help reduce the delinquent accounts to some extent before the termination day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call.
