SOBE Issues Warnings Over Non-Payment at Youngstown Commercial Properties
What happened
SOBE Thermal Energy Systems LLC sent disconnection notices to four downtown Youngstown customers because they had not paid their bills in at least 60 days. The notices warned that service could disconnect the week of October 5 unless payments were made. This follows a major rate increase that was approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
