§ 582 Utility Records Submission

Key Takeaways

  • •Public utilities (like electric or water companies) must give the commission any documents they ask for.
  • •This includes maps, contracts, reports, and records about their business or property.
  • •The commission can also ask for a full list of everything the company owns.

Example

A water company is asked by the commission to provide records of all their pipes and where they are located.

The water company must give the commission the maps and details of their pipes because the law says they have to share any documents the commission asks for.
