For some customers, it is difficult to pay their utility bills in the winter.

This protection lasts from October 15 through April 15. You may qualify for the protection if you meet both conditions:

If your service has already been shut off as of October 15, the Cold Weather Rule offers a Reconnection Plan, which may allow you to have your service turned back on. The Cold Weather Rule does not totally forbid winter shut off. If you receive a shut off notice this winter, you must act promptly.
The Secure Payment Plan runs for 12 months August 1st to July 31st. Your monthly Secure Payment Plan payment is based on your estimate usage of Natural Gas. Together we will evaluate your Secure Payment Plan at the end of the season to determine if an adjustment needs to be made. Your first Secure Payment Plan payment will be due August 25th and continue to be due on the 25th of every month through July. If there is a balance that goes beyond the Secure Payment Plan timeframe your plan will be adjusted to accommodate the balance or if you so choose to not participate the following year your balance will be due in full with your August statement. By participating in the Secure Payment Plan Program, you will not have to be worried about the swings in usage from month to month.
