New hours for state COVID-19 information hotline

The Washington State Department of Health is optimizing the hours for the state COVID-19 information hotline to better serve the public.

Starting on February 22, the hotline is open from:

Hotline specialists can answer questions on a variety of COVID-19 topics, including symptoms and testing, exposure to the virus, recommended isolation and quarantine periods, and WA Notify (the state’s exposure notification app).

To reach the state hotline, dial 1-800-525-0127, then press #. Language assistance is available.

 

Utility regulators extend customer protections through July 31

The state Utilities and Transportation Commission extended an order preventing investor-owned energy utilities from disconnecting customers for nonpayment through July 31. Utilities will also continue to waive late fees and deposits through Jan. 27, 2022. 

The state's five investor-owned utilities are Puget Sound Energy, PacifiCorp, Avista, Northwest Natural Gas and Cascade Natural Gas. This would not impact public utility districts, which have a moratorium implemented by the governor on service disconnects and late fees through April 30.

Customers can visit www.utc.wa.gov/CovidHelp for information about their rights, a comprehensive list of COVID-19 utility assistance programs and information about the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), or call the commission at 1-888-333-WUTC (9882).
