Petitioner's Response to Further Joint Staff Memorandum — September 25, 2026 (WVPSC Case No. 26-0715-S-P)

Petitioner Deborah Heflin's September 25, 2026 reply to PSC Staff Attorney Brendan Doneghy's Further Joint Staff Memorandum. Demonstrates under West Virginia Supreme Court precedent that an administrative DEP corrective plan and procedural Sewer Rule 10.3.1 cannot override the mandatory statutory hearings commanded by W. Va. Code § 24-2H-6(b), notes that "a disgruntled customer does not ask a state agency to come to her town and hear every customer, in public, on the record," and cites the Commission's full evidentiary hearings for a 27-customer subdivision in Hubbard Heights (Huntington Sanitary Bd. v. PSC, 2025).
