SaskPower has announced it is suspending active collections and putting off disconnecting residential customers for non-payment.
The company says the decision was made to help provide relief to customers impacted by the new coronavirus pandemic. “The health and safety of our employees and customers is SaskPower’s top priority,” said Shawn Schmidt, SaskPower vice-president of distribution and customer services. “We know the impact of the current pandemic can affect household finances, and that is why we are taking these measures today.” SaskPower is encouraging any customers concerned about bill payment due to the COVID-19 pandemic to contact the company by phone.
