Although Nevada County does not have oversight of local telecommunications and utility providers (such as AT&T, Suddenlink, or PG&E), we have been working closely with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to elevate the ongoing connectivity issues Nevada County residents are experiencing. Nevada County staff is working directly with CPUC to submit resident concerns and complaints we've received to address these issues regionally. If you are unable to file a complaint online, please email Jeffrey.thorsby@co.nevada.ca.us.
