As many in our community may need to self-isolate, GRU is offering relief to customers during the COVID-19 crisis by suspending service disconnections for nonpayment, effective March 16. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 and reevaluate on April 2.

Hurricane #Dorian is predicted to be a cat 3 with strong force winds hitting GNV as early as Sunday morning. Begin preparing for the storm now. If you have an outage or see a downed line, report this to 352-334-2871. Remember to NEVER touch a downed line as it may still be live.

Tropical-storm-force winds from #Dorian could begin in parts of Florida *as early as* Saturday evening. Now is the time to begin thinking about what kinds of preparations you might need to make over the next couple of days.
