Lemont Township
has chosen the utility company Energy.Me for an electrical Opt-In voluntary program. This program will allow
unincorporated Lemont households to save between $200 and $300 on their
electricity bills each year ---a savings of about 30%.
Sign up at: http://residential.energy.me/Web/Anon/Home.aspx.
Residents who purchase their electricity through this process will have the
option to donate an extra dollar a month to either Cure Autism Now (CURE AUTISM
NOW) or the local food pantries (LEMONT).
Lemont Township
is the first township to provide an opt-in
program for unincorporated residents. Making the switch to an alternate
supplier is a concept encouraged by ComEd as well as
the Lemont Township Board. There is no penalty for cancellation on this
program. The Township’s opt-in program does not affect anyone in the
Village, but Village residents are able to sign up until the Village’s
opt-in-in program begins.
Lemont Township is now one of many townships that are offering
the new Coast2Coast Rx Discount Card. The Coast2Coast Rx Card is a free
discount prescription card provided to residents of
townships, cities, counties and states. The program includes participation
by U.S. pharmacies to provide annual savings up to 55%. Savings on a
single prescription range from a few percent up to 75% (sometimes more) off the
retail price of the drug. Cardholders save on both brand name and generic
drugs. All members of a family can use the card. It is always FREE
and the card can be used immediately. There is no age, income or other
exclusions. There are no forms to fill out. Simply take the card to one
of the 59,000+ participating pharmacies to start saving today.
Cardholders and their families can
save up to 60% on their dental needs; an average of 10% to 50% on their vision
needs and 35% on their hearing needs.
