Utility rights during COVID-19
Many people across New York are forced to choose between paying their utility bills and paying for basic necessities like food, medication, and school supplies. But during the COVID-19 crisis, water, gas and electric companies can’t shut off service for anyone, regardless of their ability to pay.
As a part of CUP’s emerging work to help meet the pressing needs of our partners during this time, we developed a resource with the Public Utility Law Project (PULP) to help people in New York State understand their utility rights during the COVID-19 crisis. It’s available for free in English and Spanish.
