Citizens Utility Board Wants Extension Of Disconnection Ban

The Citizens Utility Board is asking Wisconsin power companies to delay disconnections during the rest of the coronavirus pandemic.  A moratorium on disconnections is set to end Saturday.  A spokesperson for the watchdog group says a recent increase in coronavirus numbers shows that this is not the time to cut off people’s electricity service.  The Citizens Utility Board is urging anyone facing a disconnection to apply for state help in paying their utility bills.  The moratorium on disconnections has been in force since March.
