How to
get utilities reconnected this winter
Beginning October 16,
residential customers can utilize the Winter Reconnect Order to reconnect or to
avoid disconnection of their electric and/or natural gas utilities. In order to
use the Winter Reconnect Order, an Ohioan must have service with an investor-owned
electric and/or natural gas company. The Winter Reconnect Order fact sheet can
be accessed at http://www.occ.ohio.gov/publications/assistance_programs/Factsheet_Winter-Reconnect-Order.pdf.
Also, here is a link to other utility assistance programs and ways to stop a
disconnection of service. http://www.occ.ohio.gov/publications/factsheets-assistance.shtml
