Winterport Water District Breaks Ground on Sewer Rehabilitation Project

Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud Federal, state and local officials gathered Thursday to break ground on a $1.89 million project to build new sewer lines in Winterport to replace century-old ones.

“This groundbreaking today represents an important investment in public health,” said Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud at the ceremony Thursday. “As a result of this project, partially untreated wastewater will no longer enter the Penobscot River.”

Michaud was joined by state and town representatives, Environmental Protection Agency officials, and the engineers who helped plan the project.

The nearly $2 million sewer system rehabilitation project is being funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
