MOORHEAD Moorhead s Public Service Commission gave final approval on Tuesday, Feb. 16, to a payment plan option for the 1,500 city residents who are overdue on their utility payments to the city and to the electric and water utility.
The plan gives residents who owe a combined total of about $1.75 million up to 24 months to pay off their bills interest free that in many instances were late because of job losses or reduced hours caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the plan also calls for utility shutoffs to resume on April 20 if payment plans aren t made with Moorhead Public Service.

MOORHEAD, MINN. (KFGO) – Moorhead Mayor Johnathan Judd will submit his formal resignation from the city council Monday night.

Mahli says Deputy Pro Tem Mayor Shelly Carlson, who is a council member from Ward 2, will preside over Monday night’s meeting.
