Utilities send out warning: pay up

Article Abstract:

A study done by the National Energy Assistance Directors' Assn (NEADA) shows that as many as 3.6 million families living in 18 states are at risk of having their utility service discontinued. For instance, more than 14,000 households in the District of Columbia area owe $6.6 million in natural gas bills. The NEADA cites rising fuel prices as the main cause for the arrears, with natural gas topping $5 per million BTU, and crude oil hitting $30 per barrel.
