COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio Winter Heating Season Reconnect Program will begin the week of October 17th.
This program allows residential customers who have had their home heating service disconnected or have received a disconnection notice an opportunity to pay and have their heating service restored or maintained.
Residential customers pay $175 or the amount owed, whichever is less, and a reconnection fee no more than $36 to have their service restored or maintained.
The winter reconnect order may be used one time during the heating season that runs from October 17 to April 13, 2012.
There is no income eligibility requirement but customers must sign up for a payment plan to pay any remaining past-due balance on their utility bill.
