The Glatfelter Agency advised the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds & Rivers this week that Millers Mutual has decided to renew POWR's general liability insurance policy.

This is good news for many watershed groups that seek coverage against potential third party claims of liability.

Under POWR's insurance sharing program, watershed groups that are members of POWR can be endorsed to POWR's general liability policy. After two years of no increases, Millers raised their premium rates, which are 52 cents per member with a minimum premium of $104 for organizations with 200 members or fewer.

POWR's Executive Director, Judith Jordan, said that POWR's membership and insurance fees have not been raised and would remain at $30 and $100 respectively this year.

For more information or to be endorsed to POWR's policy, visit POWR's general liability insurance policy webpage. Insurance purchase and renewal forms available from this website should be returned with payment to POWR by April 10 in order to receive coverage for the entire policy term of April 14, 2007 to April 14, 2008. Premiums for parties endorsed thereafter will be pro-rated by Millers Mutual.
