All service locations are billed MONTHLY. The “Due Date” listed on the bill is the 10th of the following month. NOTE: Per MVD By-Law 2. B. bills are “‘due upon presentation’. Should any MVD bill remain unpaid after 30 days from the date of the invoice, the District may discontinue service as well as apply a carrying charge on the overdue account, if proper payment or arrangements have not been made.”
MVD accepts cash, checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH payments from checking/savings accounts. Refer to the additional information below regarding these options.
Payment Processing Fee Information: There is a “Payment Services Fee” for processing payments with a credit/debit card as well as for one-time ACH banking payments.

Important Info Regarding US Postal Service (USPS) Mail Delivery: Please be advised, the USPS has been experiencing and continues to experience delivery delays. Additionally, according to the Merrimack Post Office ALL mail regardless of whether it’s “In Town” or “Out of Town”, is sent to a central sorting facility in Manchester before it is delivered; this seems to have been increasing delivery delays. MVD cannot control when bills and/or payment will be received from the USPS; late fees and service disconnections will be processed according to MVD’s By-Laws.
Drop-off: Payments can also be dropped off at the same address; either walk-in or use the “drop-box” located to the left of the front door.
NOTE: All payments received, by either by mail or drop-off, prior to 1:00 pm are processed on the same business day. Payments after 1:00 pm may be processed the following business day.
IMPORTANT NOTICE Regarding Non-Affiliated 3rd-Party Bill Payment Services:
Some 3rd party bill payment services are made to APPEAR they are affiliated with Merrimack Village District. “Doxo.com” and “ChargeSmart.com” are examples of third-party companies that allow payment of utility bills via their website and mobile applications. These companies, and any other 3rd-party bill payment service companies, are NOT affiliated with Merrimack Village District and therefore payment is NOTreceived electronically (a paper check will be mailed to MVD via US Postal Service). Due to this delivery procedure MVD cannot control when, or, possibly, if payment will be received – which may result in late payments/fees or potentially water service disconnection for non-payment.
