Utilities ordered to restore service with legalities settled
The Kansas Corporation Commission, urged by the attorney general, ordered immediate restoration of service to customers cut off for nonpayment and barred future disconnections this winter if customers make a good faith effort to pay. The rule applies to natural gas and electric utilities under KCC, excluding most municipal providers. Public hearings will shape a permanent policy, with proposals due in 10 days.
