Body:
How many times have you wanted to get in a room with a utility company and tell them what is on your mind from customer service to those lovely tunnels and holes they leave in or streets?
How many times have you wanted to tell the PUC that our utility companies leave you with a bad taste in your mouth over monthly bills, rates, and customer service?
Yowza! This meeting is for everyone who has ever had an issue. Come tell the township and these folks what is on your mind! Tell them what you like, hate, want more of, want less of. Also, if you have holes in your sidewalk or roads due to utility work ---bring photos! If you suffer from chronic outages, bring a list of dates and times....

Township to Host Public Utilities Community Forum on August 15th
In cooperation with State Senator Connie Williams, the Township of Lower Merion will host a Public Utilities Community Forum on Wednesday, August 15th at 7 p.m. in the Board Room of the Township Administration Building, 75 E. Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore.
Representatives from PECO, Verizon, Aqua America and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) will be on hand to make brief presentations, receive public input and answer questions. “From outages during storms to water main repairs, street lighting to the new Verizon FiOS boxes on telephone poles, there are a variety of issues that will be addressed at this important forum,” stated Douglas S. Cleland, Township Manager. “Along with Sen. Williams, our other local elected officials are expected to be in attendance and we hope that our residents will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear from the utilities and be heard.”
The Public Utilities Community Forum will be cablecast live on Channel 7, with DVD copies to be available at Bala Cynwyd and Ludington Libraries.
For more information on this Forum, call the Township’s Public Information Office at 610-645-6199.

Many thanks to Lower Merion Twp and State Senator Connie Williams for making this possible - it might not in the end make a difference, but sometimes it just makes you feel better to vent to a real person in front of you, not just a voice on the other end of the phone!
