March 10, 2020 a State of Emergency was declared. Moore County suspended disconnections for non-payment of water/sewer services and late fees for our customers voluntarily. On March 31, 2020 Executive Order 124 was issued prohibiting utilities from charging late fees and disconnecting residential service for 60 days. This order also provides customers an option to request a payment plan if needed during this time period.
