Arizona families who relied on summer utility shutoff protections are racing against time as the moratorium expires Wednesday, leaving many vulnerable to power disconnections amid mounting bills. The Arizona Corporation Commission banned most of the state’s power companies from disconnecting service during summer months, ensuring no one would be left without air conditioning during extreme heat. But that protection ends Oct. 15, creating urgency for customers who have fallen behind on payments.
