密苏里州寒冷天气规则11月1日生效：预报72小时内低温低于32华氏度时不得断供暖
密苏里州首府杰斐逊城，密苏里州公共服务委员会10月30日提醒居民，该州寒冷天气规则将于11月1日生效，并持续至2027年3月31日，与往年供暖季的安排一致。
规则规定，若天气预报显示未来72小时内气温将降至32华氏度以下，受州政府监管的公用事业公司不得在相关时段中断居民的供暖相关服务。这一72小时预报保护期源于2025年通过的州参议院第4号法案，该法案将原先的24小时保护期延长至72小时。
寒冷天气规则是密苏里州每年供暖季的一项常规保护措施，目的是避免家庭在寒冬中失去供暖。居民可通过州公共服务委员会网站查询规则详情，或拨打该委员会消费者服务热线1-800-392-4211咨询。
Missouri Cold Weather Rule Takes Effect November 1, Barring Heat Shutoffs Ahead of Freezing Temperatures
In Jefferson City, Missouri, the Missouri Public Service Commission reminded consumers on October 30 that the state's Cold Weather Rule takes effect on November 1 and runs through March 31, 2027, as it does each heating season.
Under the rule, regulated utilities may not disconnect a resident's heat-related service on any day when temperatures are forecast to drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit within the following 72 hours. The 72-hour forecast protection stems from Senate Bill 4, passed in 2025, which expanded the protection window from 24 hours to 72 hours.
The Cold Weather Rule is a standing seasonal protection meant to keep households from losing heat during the coldest months. Residents can find details on the commission's website or call its Consumer Services hotline at 1-800-392-4211.
