With the vast majority of utilities in Oklahoma suspending cut-offs, may not be the best route, either politically or in front of a Court.

CAN THEY BE DISCONNECTED?, probably. Almost certainly if the reason for the disconnect is unrelated to the emergency (theft of utilities, non-payment from before the emergency, etc.

SHOULD THEY ? – you be the judge. However, I know of no law in effect that suspends your contractual rights at this time.
