TULSA, Okla. — The City of Tulsa wants to make life a little less stressful for federal employees and people on SNAP benefits.

The city is offering a temporary grace period on City of Tulsa utility service during the federal government shutdown.

Although utility bills are not being waived, the city says there will be a pause on shutoffs, and they will work with Tulsans on manageable payment plans once income or benefits resume.
