The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is reminding residents of an upcoming deadline to apply for financial assistance with utility bills.
Anyone dealing with financial difficulties as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other challenging circumstances is encouraged to call their utility providers to review programs that may be available to address past due bills.
According to the PUC, extended payment plan options and flexible income verification programs are available for residents and small businesses before the end of this month.
Local utility companies have information about assistance programs available in our area for those who qualify. Residents can also dial 211 for more information.
