A. No. The Public Counsel only represents citizens in utility cases over which the FPSC has jurisdiction. The FPSC has no jurisdiction over municipally (city or county) owned utilities and very little over electric cooperatives. Public Counsel authority is slightly different in water and wastewater utilities. If you have a question regarding Public Counsel authority in water and wastewater utilities, you should either click on the ‘contact’ button at the top of this page, or call us us toll-free at 1-800-342-0222. Q. I live in a county in which the FPSC has no water and wastewater jurisdiction. Does Public Counsel have authority in my county. A. Yes. Public Counsel’s authority in water and wastewater extends into counties where the FPSC has no jurisdiction.
