In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Beginning next week, the city will start delivering 24-hour notices to residential customers who have accumulated significant outstanding balances on their electric bills. The City of Hagerstown has expressed its commitment to collaborating with customers who are willing to establish payment plans to prevent service interruptions. Individuals who wish to discuss payment arrangements are advised to contact Customer Service via email at customerservice@hagerstownmd.org, by phone at 301-790-4160, or by visiting the Customer Service office in person.
For those customers who require financial assistance to manage their electric bills, the Washington County Community Action Council is available to help. This organization can be reached at 117 Summit Avenue in Hagerstown, or by calling 301-797-4161.
Additionally, the City of Hagerstown reminded all customers of the availability of its 24-hour payment kiosk. Located outside the Customer Service office at 32 N. Potomac Street, this kiosk allows residents to pay their City electric, water, sewer, trash, and personal or real estate tax bills conveniently using a card or EFT check at any time.
