Re: Is a Utility Company considered Non-Governmental or Govt'l Unit?

A utility company is a non-governmental unit. If you are trying to determine whether utility bills are dischargeable in bankruptcy, the answer is yes. The only exception are water/sewer bills which automatically become liens on the property.

I trust this has been helpful, but feel free to call or e-mail with any questions as a free initial consult.
