The hearings are scheduled for Wednesday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the CMS Regional Complex in Springfield, Illinois, and on Thursday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the New Life Community Church in East St. Louis, Ill.
Customers unable to attend the hearings can submit their comments via the ICC website or call the Consumer Services Division at 1-800-524-0795 during regular business hours.
