GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Time is running out if you’ve been waiting all winter to pay your utility bill.
Wisconsin Public Service is reminding folks that the winter moratorium will be ending on April 15th.
If you haven’t paid your bill all winter, you may be subject to getting your electricity shut off.
Spokesman Kerry Spees says it shouldn’t catch anyone off guard.
“Anybody that is subject to disconnection will have received notices so it won’t come as a surprise to anyone.”
The first day that customers would be subject to being disconnected would be April 18th, however, depending on the weather that could change.
“If it’s going to be cold and I think it’s not going to be that pleasant, it’s not likely that we’ll begin right away on the 18th. It could be later once the weather warms up some.”
Spees says if you want a more consistent bill throughout the year, you might want to try budget billing.
“It’s worked for me for 35 years. You get to avoid the seasonal highs and lows by paying an average bill every month so you don’t get the small bills in the summer but you don’t get the whoppers in the winter.”
You can contact WPS at 800-450-7260 to make payment arrangements or find more information at www.wisconsinpublicservice.com.
