Spire is providing additional support to assist customers struggling after tornado damage in parts of Selma.

The natural gas utility announced it will suspend disconnections for impacted business and residential customers impacted in the city of Selma through May.

For impacted residential customers, extended payment plan arrangements are also available through August.

“We want to be sure that those impacted by the tornado in Selma have the support they need to get back on their feet,” said Joe Hampton, president of Spire Alabama, Gulf Coast, and Mississippi. “If someone is struggling to pay their natural gas bill, we want to work with them on a solution.”

The additional support is another example of Spire’s commitment to help communities rebuild from tornado damage related to recent severe weather. In January, Spire donated $16,000 to American Red Cross chapters in communities impacted by recent tornadoes, and volunteers from Spire cooked meals and provided much-needed supplies to the community of Selma at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Jan. 27.

Impacted Spire customers in Selma are encouraged to call 800-292-4008 for more information.
