CONSUMER INQUIRIES
HAVE YOU FIRST ASKED THE UTILITY FOR ASSISTANCE?
Before addressing your utility-related issues to the Public Service Commission, we ask that you first contact the utility and offer them the opportunity to satisfactorily address your concerns.
You are encouraged to notate the following in your written records:
• The date and time of the conversation(s), • The name(s) of the utility personnel to whom you addressed your inquiry, • Notes explaining the utility’s response to your inquiry.
If you don’t have that information, don’t be concerned. The Alabama Public Service Commission welcomes the opportunity to assist you with issues that you have previously addressed unsatisfactorily with the utility.
