If your agency has a policy that provides that service will not be shut off to any residential customer from November 15 to March 15, your agency does not have to comply with the notice requirement. In such case, your agency must post a notice generally describing the Program on its website. If the policy changes at any time, your agency must comply with the above terms. If a customer receives electric, water, or wastewater related financial assistance, the customer shall forward all the benefits to their appropriate electric, water, or wastewater vendor. During the protection period, an electric, water, or wastewater vendor shall not request a security deposit or an addition to an existing security deposit from a customer who is eligible for and seeks the protection of the Winter Termination Program.
