Good morning Merrimac!
All is well so far at MMLD. Roads are in decent shape but the wind and blowing snow made for a fun commute (all 6/10 of a mile). If you experience flickering lights, a power outage or tree limbs ON wires please give us a call at 978-346-8311. Otherwise stay home (if you can), stay safe and warm!

Where oh where might MMLD Linemen be working on Ripple Fiber service today??? Any guesses? ... See MoreSee Less

Where oh where might

BEWARE: if something looks to good to be true it usually is… an MMLD customer received a mailing about a $100 bill credit from “SmartEnergy” and called to ask if it was a scam. Always call us to verify if you receive something saying call “us” for your credit. They are looking for your information. They wanted my name and address. They wanted to know if I had NStar or Eversource. They have no access to your bills to even be able to apply a credit. Bottom line: never ever give any information to someone soliciting you via mail or phone. Always check directly with your utility provider before doing anything. ... See MoreSee Less

BEWARE:  if somethin
