Heating Assistance
During the 1997-1998 heating season, Massachusetts residents paid an average of 94ยข per gallon for home heating oil. Last year, during the 2006-2007 heating season, Massachusetts residents paid an average of $2.39 per gallon. In the first three months of the 2007-2008 season, prices averaged $2.90 a gallon, topping $3.15 per gallon before the winter cold set in.
Regardless of whether you heat your home with oil or natural gas, you may be paying more to heat your home than in previous years.
While energy conservation is the first line of defense in keeping energy costs low, the WMGLD realizes that some people may have difficulty paying their energy bills this winter.
The WMGLD has provided this booklet to assist WMGLD customers this winter. If you have additional questions, please call the WMGLD Customer Service Representative at 781-246-6363.
