PSC Fines Former Elam Utility Owner
KENTUCKY....
Wednesday, the Kentucky Public Service Commission fined Wilma Ison-Sorrell, the former owner of Elam Utility Co. Inc., a total of $12,500 for repeated violations. The city of West Liberty recently purchased the assets of Elam, but the violations predated the transfer of the company which provided natural gas service to about 460 residential and commercial customers in Morgan and Wolfe counties. The violations relate to Elam’s repeated failure to file quarterly adjustments to its retail price for natural gas. The PSC assessed the maximum penalties permitted by Kentucky statute. The PSC dismissed Elam Utility from the case because the sale to West Liberty means Elam no longer exists as a viable utility company. Ison-Sorrell must pay the penalties within 30 days.
Payment by Ison-Sorrell of the $7,500 suspended portion of the earlier penalty.
A penalty of $2,500 against Ison-Sorrell for failing to file the gas cost adjustment for the second quarter of 2010.
A penalty of $2,500 against Ison-Sorrell for not responding to a PSC order issued in April 2010 regarding the failure to file the gas cost adjustment.
