Avoid Loss of Service
 

If you are having problems keeping up with your gas bills, it is important to contact PGW as soon as possible to make a payment arrangement.

If you have received a shutoff notice, and need to discuss your options, call PGW's collection department at 215-235-1777. The last thing PGW wants to do is shut off anyone's gas service, however, we cannot continue to provide service to customers who refuse to pay their gas bills.

Let's work together. To avoid loss of service, we urge customers with past-due accounts to mail in a payment as soon as possible. If you need to make payment arrangements, visit one of our six neighborhood Customer Service Centers or give us a call at 215-235-1777.
