COVID-19 Updates

Many clients have turned to us for guidance on implementing directives of local, state, and national governmental authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have created this site to catalogue and monitor these directives as applicable to Ohio and Illinois. This site also monitors regulatory filings submitted in direct response to the pandemic. We will update the site regularly. 

 

Our clients provide services essential to day-to-day life—now more than ever. Our way of life will continue without cruises, sporting events, or a night on the town. It cannot continue without safe and reliable energy, drinking water, and sanitation. We are honored to serve you and stand ready to continue to serve through the remainder of this crisis.
