Dominion East Ohio reminds customers of available company payment plans and government energy assistance programs designed to help them maintain winter natural gas service.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) has issued its annual Winter Reconnection Order, which allows any Dominion East Ohio residential customer to restore service or to avoid a shutoff between now and April 15, 2014, by paying $175. Under the order, customers, who have had service disconnected for nonpayment, can have their service restored by paying the amount they owe Dominion, or $175, whichever is less.
A reconnect fee of $33, plus applicable taxes, also will be billed to the account if the service has been disconnected.
There is no income eligibility requirement to use this program, and customers will be enrolled in a payment plan to help pay off any past-due balance. The reconnection plan can be used only once between October 14, 2013, and April 15, 2014. To use this reconnection plan, customers can call Dominion East Ohio at 1-800-362-7557.
