A public comment period will be included with this item (3 minutes).
ACTION: Council action is anticipated.
Description
The Mill Creek Pump station was constructed in 1981. It and its associated force mains are scheduled for replacement and reconstruction in 2016. Waste Water Superintendent Pete Clark and Engineer Chris Dwinal of Wright-Pierce will offer a presentation on the two projects, the estimated construction costs and the bid results, and will discuss the resulting impact on user fees.
The Council will be asked to take action on authorizing the submittal of an application to the Maine Municipal Bond Bank to issue revenue bonds. These bonds will be necessary to finance the replacement of the Mill Creek Pump Station and installation of force sewer mains.
The Council will be asked at a later date to appropriate funds from the Town’s Wastewater Enterprise Fund to finance a portion of the costs of these projects.
Attachments include the presentation and the draft order.
