Memphis Light, Gas and Water’s Winter Moratorium provides elderly (60+) and disabled customers uninterrupted utility service during the coldest months of the year (December 1–March 1), however customers are not relieved of their obligation to pay.
 

• The elderly or disabled applicant must be the customer of record (name must appear on bill).
   
• Participating customers who have balances on their accounts at the end of the program will be eligible for an extended payment plan for up to three months upon request.
   
• Once customers have been approved for the Winter Moratorium, they are automatically re-enrolled each year if the past due balance is below the Minimum Threshold as of November 30 of each year.
   
• In October, previous customers will receive a reminder letter to reduce balances by the end of November.
