Abstract

This Act amends Article 4, Chapter 1, Division 8 of Title 4 of the Commonwealth Code, as amended by Executive Order 2006-04, by adding new sections 8144 and 8145 on disconnection of utility services. These sections seek to protect customers from excessive powers of the Commonwealth Public Utilities Corporation regradinging connection/disconnection of services and provide, among other things, that the Corporation shall not disconnect all utility services (power, water, and sewer) of a residential consumer if the consumer fails the payment of only one utility service.
