     § 526.  Rejection of rate increase requests due to inadequate
                quality or quantity of service.
        (a)  General rule.--The commission may reject, in whole or in
     part, a public utility's request to increase its rates where the
     commission concludes, after hearing, that the service rendered
     by the public utility is inadequate in that it fails to meet
     quantity or quality for the type of service provided.
        (b)  Other powers and duties preserved.--This section shall
     not be construed to diminish the powers and duties of the
     commission under any other provision of law to remedy inadequate
     service by a public utility.

     otherwise.
