Self-harm can be a way of coping with problems. It may help you express feelings you canât put into words, distract you from your life, or release emotional pain. Afterwards, you probably feel betterâat least for a little while. But then the painful feelings return, and you feel the urge to hurt yourself again.
The Public Utility Commission of Oregon (PUC) regulates customer rates and services of the state's investor-owned electric, natural gas and telephone utilities; and certain water companies.
In general, municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives are not regulated and the policies do not apply to them. Check with your PUC/PSC contacts and/or websites below to see if the state policy applies to your utility and read the Consumer FAQs or Bill of Rights for more information. If you have a dispute with your utility, you should try and resolve it with the utility first before calling your PUC/PSC.
