Area Code Change Put On Hold

The Public Utility Commission has delayed a decision to split the state's 814 area code because it probably won't run out of phone numbers until 2015.

The PUC approved a plan in December to switch the area code to 582 for the northwestern part of the state, but in January commissioners said they would revisit the issue after receiving a number of petitions and complaints.

The other option is an overlay, which would give all new numbers in the region the 582 area code but allow current customers to keep 814.

The commission is still planning to hold public hearings on the matter.
