Ridgefield Social Services Department is reminding people about the upcoming deadline for Eversource's COVID-19 payment plan. The deadline is November 1st. Anyone who is having trouble paying their energy bill during this time, missed payments or have a past due balance can arrange to set up a plan in order to prevent service interruption. There is no down payment, no interest. People will have up to 24 months to pay off the balance. Additional financial assistance is available for low-income households. Eversource customers can log into their accounts to check eligibility and select a plan up to 19 months.
