Maryland Utilities Could Begin Shutting Off Power To Delinquent Customers With COVID Hardships

With millions of Americans out of work and a national eviction crisis that could erupt in 2021 when the eviction moratorium ends on Dec. 31, those, who are already facing eviction and behind on their utility bills, could have their water, gas, and electricity turned off as soon as this weekend, according to FOX 5 DC

As soon as Sunday, Nov. 15, Maryland utility companies will be permitted by the state to start terminating customers with overdue bills, many of which were unable to pay because of job loss due to the coronavirus downturn. 

According to Maryland’s Department of Human Services, affected customers will have 45 days from the date of a termination notice to seek a payment plan or energy assistance. 

FOX 5 DC says, “the number of people behind on utility bills is staggering.”
