MLGW Stands with Customers Facing Hardship Amid Federal Shutdown
November 3, 2025

For 87 years, MLGW has stood with its customers through every challenge. Today is no different. As many face financial strain as a result of the federal shutdown which has affected the SNAP and LIHEAP programs, as well as those who have been furloughed, , we understand the impact this has on families across our community.

In response,, MLGW proactively offered relief programs to assist customers beginning last week. The list of assistance available can be found at mlgw.com/utiltyassistance. MLGWwill also extend community office hours as needed to ensure customers receive the support they need. We are committed to being a reliable partner during this difficult time.

For assistance, customers can call the MLGW Customer Care Center at 901-544-6549 or visit our Lamar, Millington and Downtown community offices for help.

 

 

Memphis Light, Gas and Water is the largest three-service public power utility in the nation, serving the residents of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee since 1939. MLGW consistently provides customers with rates that are amongst the lowest in the nation and stewards a water supply from artesian wells that is minimally treated. Actively engaged in promoting the prosperity of Memphis and Shelby County, MLGW supports the seven local chambers in its service area and makes doing business with local, minority- and women-owned business a priority. Deeply rooted in the community, its employees generously donate time and money in support of bettering the Greater Memphis area.
