The Sanford Sewerage District is a public utility located in Springvale, ME, dedicated to providing efficient and environmentally responsible wastewater treatment services. With a focus on protecting the Earth's valuable water resources, the district operates a state-of-the-art facility and implements a comprehensive pretreatment program to ensure the proper disposal of biosolids. As a trusted community partner, the district is committed to transparency and regularly holds public hearings to discuss important matters such as rate increases and policy enactments.
The Sanford Sewerage District is currently facing challenges due to recent legislation, LD 1911, which requires the disposal of biosolids in state-approved landfills to contain harmful substances. This new law has resulted in increased expenses for the district, including transportation costs and tipping fees. Despite these challenges, the district remains dedicated to finding the most cost-effective solutions for its ratepayers and continues to explore alternative methods of sludge disposal. With a focus on public health and environmental stewardship, the district urges residents to refrain from flushing wipes, as they can cause pipe clogs and pose risks to both workers and homeowners.
