@DCOPC was happy to be in the neighborhood! #community #partnerships #service
Kicked off our Ward 4 pop-ups strong at New Hampshire Ave & Farragut St in #BrightwoodPark! Thanks to @DCPoliceDept, OPC, & DCPC for helping us support neighbors with resources and troubleshoot neighborhood concerns. Join us on Thursday on the 400 block of Kennedy St!
It's a memorable Monday! Recapping a couple of community visits where @DCOPC staff shared info about how we help utility consumers. Plus we got give aways! Contact [email protected] or 202.727.3071 to invite @DCOPC to your event, block party, or ANC meeting #OPCinYourNeighborhood
It's hot outside but inside we're cool with the office of @DCAttorneyGen & DC seniors @ Edgewood Commons in NE. Sharing info on how to read utility bills and questions to ask 3rd party energy suppliers before signing up for what may not necessarily save them money. #OPCprotects
@DCOPC reminds DC residents, Pepco & Washington Gas cannot disconnect service for nonpayment of bills on the day before or the day of a forecast of 95°F, nor on the day before or day of a holiday or weekend day. Call us: 202.727.3071 if you've been shutoff during this hot weather
Two common issues our Mediation team takes on is getting the AC turned back on or the water reconnected for DC residents on hot days like today. 🌡️🚰 If your AC is broken — or if your water is being disconnected — call us at 202-442-9828.
