Columbia Gas customers: Your voices were heard

Action

The Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC) urged concerned organizations and consumers to write letters to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio supporting the OCC's request that Columbia Gas of Ohio be required to make customer bills available in large print and Braille formats upon request by visually impaired customers.

Result

While the Commissioners denied OCC's request, they directed the PUCO staff to hold a meeting with Columbia Gas of Ohio, the OCC and other interested stakeholders to discuss large print bills and the need for a Braille option.

The OCC appreciates the efforts of the organizations that wrote letters of support to the PUCO Commissioners:
