A message from Delmarva Power:
As part of our ongoing commitment to keep you updated about important Delmarva Power information, I would like to make you aware that Delmarva Power is asking the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) for a rate adjustment to support the investments we have made to maintain a safe and reliable electric system, for enhanced customer service and to defray the expenses associated with the restoration of electric service after Hurricane Irene this past summer. If approved by the PSC, a typical Maryland residential customer would see an adjustment on his or her bill of 5.6 percent, effective July 2012. This means the typical customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt hours a month would see an increase of $7.29 on the monthly bill.
We understand that these are tough economic times for a lot of our customers and we work diligently to control costs. Keep in mind that we do offer suggestions on how to mitigate the impact of the proposed rate adjustment. For example, customers can find ways to save on energy costs through various EmPOWER Maryland programs and via the My Account feature on our website (www.delmarva.com). We also work with customers who may be having difficulty in paying their bills. We offer payment plans and support other social service assistance programs that help make it easier for customers to pay their bills.

Cecil Hotel Restoration Project
The Cecil Hotel, located at the corner of Caroline and Bladen Streets was, as most of you know, purchased by the Town of Charlestown in 2009 year to prevent this historic structure, built in 1809, from being removed from the Town. We have lost historic buildings in the past. This is a difficult renovation project in these current economic times, as grant money to repair the structure is very difficult to obtain. We do have a very enthusiastic group of individuals, however, having experience in many facets of restoration and construction, contributing their time to assist in the process. We are hopeful that grant money will be more readily available in the upcoming year to enable the Town to continue the renovation project.
