The Clarksdale Public Utilities Commission acknowledges the health consequences and financial hardships that its customers may be experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We, at CPU, are part of the community we serve, and we promise nothing short of maximum flexibility during these unprecedented times. The payment-extension policy CPU has had in place for many years reflects our commitment to working with customers who are experiencing financial difficulties to ensure they continue receiving utility services.
Customers who are unable to pay their CPU bills through no fault of their own can receive payment extensions for up to 60 days to keep the utility services active. Based on the urgency of the COVID-19 crisis, the Commission is waiving the requirement that the General Manager report at the next Commission meeting customers who have unusual circumstances that justify a delay in service disconnections and is authorized to grant extensions in accordance with current policy.
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our customers and are confident these measures will help during these unique times. Even so, we encourage customers who are experiencing financial difficulties to contact us to work out payment-extension plans.
We will get through this crisis because we are all in this together; and together we will prevail.
