Operative words
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and growing economic challenges, SMUD announced it will suspend the practice of disconnecting power due to non-payment for residential and commercial customers. In addition, customers who are currently disconnected for non-payment will be reconnected, as long as the meter or other equipment has not been damaged and all other conditions are safe.
Enforcement
Utility rule of service adopted by the district
Notes
About 1.5 million customers. The utility's own release is the operative announcement of a rule of service.
