Iolans whose utilities are subject to be disconnected because of non-payment will have 15 days to get their accounts caught up once a state order prohibiting disconnections expires.
City Council members on Monday set the 15-day grace period following another extensive discussion on how many, and how severely, Iolans are behind adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gov. Laura Kelly’s executive order prohibiting utility shutoffs expires on Friday.
