About Merrimac Municipal Light Dept.

The Merrimac Municipal Light Department (MMLD) is a municipally owned utility, meaning that is owned by our customers, and has been in operation since 1904. It is our goal to do everything possible to ensure that our service is always at its best. The Municipal Light Department, under the direction of the General Manager, is governed by a 3-member elected Board of Commissioners who hold public meetings on a monthly basis.

OUR MISSION

The Merrimac Municipal Light Department exists to provide its owner, the Town of Merrimac’s ratepayers, safe and reliable electricity at a reasonable and competitive rate that sustains the healthy operations of the department, and the maintenance, expansion and modernization of the electrical distribution system. This mission will be accomplished by a staff of responsible, dedicated and customer-oriented employees with superior work ethics, skills and professionalism.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS

As a customer of the Municipal Light Department you will receive safe, and reliable electricity as stated in the Mission Statement. For the convenience of our customers, we have several payment options available to you. You can pay online, by going to Unipay to pay your electric bill using a credit card or eCheck.

If you pay your bill by the 15th of the month you receive a 10% discount off your energy portion of your bill. Contact our office to enroll in our secure ACH program, which automatically withdraws your monthly electric bill balance off your bank account, taking one more thing off your mind and allowing you to take advantage of our early payment discount.
