Many consumers recently may have heard about problems surrounding certain natural gas risers and the potential for leaks to occur. A natural gas riser is the vertical portion of the service line that connects the primary distribution pipeline to the customer’s meter. The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) is actively participating in this issue to advocate on behalf of Ohio’s residential utility consumers. Below is more information about the natural gas riser issues.
OCC has had to cancel many of its services, including its consumer call center, due to recent budget cuts. We realize you may continue to need assistance with your utility services. OCC's website provides free access to publications and resources.
You may seek assistance with utility complaints from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio: 800-686-7826. For complaints about non-utility related services, you may call the Ohio Attorney General at 800-282-0515.
