Do we get bill deduction and food vouchers for this?
no power since Mon. Husband has to have power for nebulizer.(asthmatic) This is ridiculous. food lost, no air, wtf is going on???????
I have been calling since Monday August 10th. Since yesterday the update is power by the 15th. Really! Why is it taking so long! The office at our co-op has service but we don't. You want the bill paid on time do fix the service.
Why is This seeming planned? There is no nature that would cause this. Man did this. Why are the real people affected? I pay the bill and get no service? How uncool is that? Not very. Do yo all laugh at the comments? Yoll need to turn the peoples power back on and stop playing with them. The same way you're playing with covid19. An unreal virus. Those winds were man made. Easily. Stop messin with the people.
