Requires electric, gas, and water public utilities to provide certain notifications to customers concerning certain service outages.*

S 274 requires electric, gas, and water utilities to notify customers who opt in about service outages lasting one hour or longer. Utilities must send details like outage location, estimated duration, emergency contacts, and updates via the customer's preferred method (text, email, or automated call). This applies only to outages beyond the utility's control (not those due to unpaid bills). The bill does not mandate notifications for all customers but only for those who choose to receive them.
