What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

SOBE Thermal Energy Systems LLC may disconnect four downtown Youngstown customers by October 13 if they have not paid bills for at least 60 days. SOBE receiver John C. Collins and his court-appointed attorney, Michael Moran, stated that while the utility company prefers not to shut off steam heat, disconnection is necessary without payment. The delinquent customers include West 34 Investors LLC, Erie Terminal Place LLC, 22 Market Street Ohio LLC, and FNB Youngstown LLC.
