Highlights include suspension of disconnections

Memphis Light, Gas and Water has implemented its Pandemic Plan. To better serve our customers during this time of crisis, the plan includes the suspension of disconnections for all customers until further notice.

During this time, while services will not be disconnected, bills will continue to accrue and we encourage customers to make payments if  possible. 

As always, customers should call us at 544-6549 if they need assistance. Customers may also request payment arrangements in My Account and through our webchat. We encourage customers to exhaust these resources before coming in to a Community Office.

We are currently in Trigger 1: Infection confirmed inside Shelby County border. The full plan is outlined below.
