The residents of Elyria Township will have the opportunity to vote to join an Electrical Aggregation Program in the upcoming Primary Election on May 4th. The program will give residents a 6% savings on their electrical bill. There are “opt-out” provisions provided by the Ohio Revised Code for any resident that does not want to participate in the program. Further information will be in the mail and the newspaper. A copy of the resolution will also be posted on this website.
