North Andover Fireworks Update

Sarah Brush
An isolated incident occurred while setting up for the Town's fireworks display this afternoon, which resulted in one injured party, a licensed fireworks technician.  North Andover Fire Department personnel and one co-worker, an off duty Firefighter, on scene rendered medical aid and the technician was transported to an area hospital for further care.  
An inspection of the rest of the display by the North Andover Fire Department and the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services confirmed the safety of the display and compliance with all fire protection regulations.  Additional licensed technicians will be on hand tonight to ensure a safe public display, and the event will continue as scheduled.

Sarah Brush
A new assistance program is available to Massachusetts residents struggling to pay their water & sewer bills because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) may pay up to $450 toward overdue water and sewer bills.
By applying for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), more commonly known as Fuel Assistance or the Heating Assistance Program, you are also applying for assistance for your overdue water & sewer bills. Do not assume you are not eligible. For example, a family of four with an annual gross household income of less than $78,751 may qualify. The assistance will be paid directly to your water and/or sewer vendor.
You can apply through your local LIHEAP agency. You can find their contact information by going to: https://toapply.org/MassLIHEAP

Important information about your electric bill!

Sarah Brush
Important information about your electric bill!

National Grid's electricity rate will be lower than the Town's electrical aggregation program rate starting in July!

You can opt out of the program to save money over the summer by calling First Point Power at (888) 875-1711 or by visiting https://colonialpowergroup.com/north-andover/. If you need assistance, please bring a copy of your electric bill to the North Andover Senior Center or the Town Manager’s office and someone will help you to opt out.

We will be watching the rates and will let you know if you should opt back in after the summer to see additional savings.
