Complaint About Your Bill? Contact the Consumer Affairs Unit at the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin

The PSC can help resolve disputes with utilities regarding electric, natural gas, water service and very limited aspects of local telephone service. You must first try to resolve your dispute directly with the utility before contacting the PSC for assistance. If you are unsuccessful in resolving your concern directly with the utility, you may contact the PSC.
