PECO is Suspending Utility Shutoffs Until May 1st!
In a recent Instagram post State Rep. Jordan Harris stated that he spoke directly with PECO President Michael Innocenzo to urge the power company to suspend shutoffs. President Innocenzo agreed that PECO will suspend all shutoffs until May 1st in lieu of the Coroanvirus pandemic.
As the virus continues to wreak havoc across the country many folks are unable to work as the majority of industry have been severely impacted. Although at this time PECO is the only utility company to step up, others such as PGW and the Water Department are expected to file suit.
In fact Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has already ordered the Atlanta Water Department to provide all residents with running water until further notice. In Italy it is reported that all utility and mortgage companies halt collections activity as all residents are on a mandatory lockdown.
