Disconnections and Payment Arrangements Update
As our state moves toward re-opening businesses and resuming normal operations, we have extended our suspension of disconnections for nonpayment until July 15, 2020, for Missouri customers. We will resume sending disconnection notices for non-payment beginning July 16, 2020. We are concerned that some customers may accrue a large unpaid balance that could be difficult to pay when collection activities resume. Here are some important things you should know:
- Our primary goal is to work with you to avoid unmanageable bills, service disconnection, or additional fees.
- We have expanded our Special Payment Arrangement (SPA) programs to allow for additional time to spread out past due balances and make payments more manageable.
- We are monitoring various agencies who may be able to provide financial assistance for some portion of your bill so call us to learn more.
- Our representatives stand ready to help develop a plan that works best for you, but it is critical you call us as soon as possible at 1-855-872-3242 to make arrangements for your account before bills become unmanageable. Once we resume disconnections, we expect our call volume to increase significantly. This may result in longer wait times. Thank you in advance for your patience.
These are uniquely challenging days in our community and our hearts go out to those who have been impacted directly by this health crisis, especially those who have lost loved ones.

At Liberty, delivering electricity, gas, and water safely and reliably to our customers is always our primary goal. With the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, we wanted to provide you with an update on the actions we’re taking across our company to protect the health and safety of our customers and employees and to help ensure that the communities we serve can continue to count on the critical services we provide.
Supporting the health and safety of our employees
- We have a pandemic preparedness plan in place and have established a task force that is working with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This task force has spent several weeks preparing for how the virus might impact our organization and the communities we serve, and how to respond appropriately.
- We continue to monitor the situation and actively share updates and information with our employees so that they can keep themselves and their families safe.
- We have provided additional protective supplies and equipment to our frontline employees. We have limited employee travel, limited in-person meetings, and postponed larger gatherings and events.
- To prevent the spread of the virus, we’re encouraging anyone who feels sick or has concerns regarding potential exposure to stay at home.
Protecting our customers
- Customers may notice our customer service representatives and field team wearing gloves and additional protective equipment. You may also notice changes in how we greet customers in our contact centers and on service appointments, including social distancing of at least 3 to 6 feet. We hope you understand that this is for both customer and employee protection.
- While our customer walk-in centers remain open to serve you, to practice social distancing, we encourage our customers to utilize our other payment methods available on our website, to call us with questions.
Ensuring the delivery of safe and reliable service
- Utilities must often respond to extreme conditions and disasters. We plan and practice regularly to help ensure continuity of service. We take this responsibility seriously. As part of our pandemic response, we are implementing our emergency plan and quickly adjusting to conditions of the current COVID-19 situation to ensure safe and reliable service to our customers and communities.
