The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in tremendous economic strain and hardship on many individuals, families and businesses in Homer.  As part of the City's commitment to assisting the community with response and recovery, the City is temporarily suspending all utility shutoffs due to lack of payment.  Providing access to clean water for drinking, cooking, and washing hands remains critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19, and is an essential function of the City that will be given high priority.
