TDD Service

If you have a hearing and/or speech impairment and have access to a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the New York Relay Service at 1-800-662-1220 or 1-800-421-1220 for hearing persons in order to contact any of the DPS phone numbers. 

Bilingual Service

Many utilities have customer representatives who speak Spanish. If you wish, call your utility's local customer relations office and ask if a Spanish-speaking representative is available. The PSC also has Spanish-Speaking Consumer Services Representatives to help you.

Servicio Bilingüe

Muchas compañías tienen representantes que hablan español. Si usted necesita este servicio, llame a la oficina local de ayuda para los clientes y pregunte por un representante que hable español. La Comisión de Servicios Públicos también tiene representantes en la oficina de servicios al consumidor que hablan español y lo pueden ayudar.
