Howland Township locks in the rate of $6.21 per MCF for natural gas until November 2011
$6.11 per MCF for Senior Citizens
Howland Township locked in the price for natural gas at $6.21 per MCF for the billing months of December 2010 through November 2011. This means that residents and businesses in the township's Aggregation Program will be paying much less than the rate for the previous year. The new rate is fixed for a twelve month period starting with bills prepared after December 9th. The provider of natural gas for the township's Aggregation Program will continue to be Direct Energy.
Residents and businesses that are currently members of the program will not need to do anything to remain in the program. An additional discount of $0.10 per MCF is available to all senior citizens 65 years and older. Residents not under contract are automatically enrolled. Questions can be answered by calling Direct Energy at (866) 760-6040 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Those who are already under contract with another supplier but wish to enroll with Direct Energy are encouraged to review their current contract to determine if they will be charged an early cancellation fee to switch suppliers.
Details on the Direct Choice Program
Before the European settlement here in the united states, beavers and their dams could be easily spotted throughout North America. With the European settlement came agriculture which meant most of the fertile land was wet meadows home to the beaver. Needless to say, beaver hats, pelts and fur became very popular and the settlers had access to these fertile lands. With practically eradicating the beaver we have changed our watersheds to allow stream erosion and scouring.
