READING, MA — The Reading Municipal Light Department will host an Open House on Thursday, October 8, from 2pm to 5pm, at RMLD Headquarters (226-230 Ash St., Reading) in celebration of National Public Power Week. The RMLD is among more than 2,000 other electric utilities across the country that collectively provide electricity on a not-for-profit basis to 47 million Americans.
“As a public power utility, we are absolutely dedicated to ensuring excellent customer service, system reliability, energy saving programs and some of the lowest rates in the state,” said RMLD General Manager Coleen O’Brien. “This event gives us the opportunity to interact with our customers, to introduce them to our staff and show them what we do here at RMLD to bring our mission to fruition.”
The open house will feature a half-off sale of LED lightbulbs and holiday lights, a lineman safety equipment demonstration, electric cars and charging stations, a tree-trimming presentation, face painting, crafts, hard hat decorating, games, a manager dunk tank, food, music and the opportunity to learn about transmission, distribution, electric meters, customer service programs and safety and conservation tips.
Public Power Week is an annual event sponsored in conjunction with the American Public Power Association in Washington, D.C. APPA is the service organization for community-and state-owned electric utilities.
