Join Us at the Town Meeting on April 27th to Vote on Article 23 for the Sale of 10 W Main Street
Attend the town meeting on April 27th at 7:30pm at the Sweetsir School and help us secure a 2/3 vote, seeking positive passage of the town meeting Article to sell 10 W. Main Street and consolidate our operations to 20 Federal Way.
We’re dedicated to informing our customers of the benefits of public power versus investor-owned utilities like National Grid, and one of the major benefits is the difference in cost.
We understand that our customers want to save as much energy as possible to reduce their monthly electric bill. To assist in that effort, MMLD will be handing out free LED light bulbs!

Hello Merrimac, Are you wondering "why did my lights flicker last night?"
•National Grid was working on their system, switching equipment on and off: During maintenance, crews often switch circuits or reroute power. These quick changes can cause brief dips or surges that make lights flicker. • Voltage fluctuations: Work on high voltage lines can momentarily affect the stability of the local voltage. Sensitive lights, especially LEDs, tend to show this as flickering. • Load balancing: When power is redirected to keep everyone supplied during maintenance, the system may briefly adjust the load, causing small interruptions. Is it dangerous? In most cases, no. The flicker is temporary and stops once the work is finished. It does not usually indicate a problem inside your home. When to get it checked? If the flickering continues long after the scheduled work or affects only one room or one fixture, it may be a home wiring or appliance issue, and you may want to have an electrician take a look. ...
