City Posts New Power Supply Rate Notice For Fall, Winter
City Hall posted a new public notice this week for Marlborough's Community Choice Power Supply Program, setting rates for the six-month stretch from August 2026 through January 2027, while also moving forward on a renewal of the city's cable franchise agreement with Comcast.
TOWN HALL
The Community Choice Power Supply Program notice, posted under Mayor J. Christian Dumais's office, lays out the electricity supply rates residents enrolled in the city's aggregation program will see through the start of 2027. It follows an earlier notice this spring that updated program rates for March.
Separately, the city posted a legal notice regarding renewal of Marlborough's cable television license agreement with Comcast, a routine but required step in keeping the franchise current.
SCHOOLS
Marlborough Public Schools is pushing families to complete registration for the 2026-2027 school year, with required forms and documentation posted to the district site. The district's 2026 summer programs remain underway heading into the final weeks of August, alongside its ongoing food services and summer learning offerings.
