Bridgton Wastewater System FAQs
On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, voters are being asked to approve funding for a new wastewater system.
Do I have to hook up to the new sewer?Â
No, if your system has failed then the Town provides the opportunity to connect to the new system.
If your system is fully functioning, then you are not required to do so.
What will it cost a residential property to hook up to the sewer?Â
All future users pay a one-time connection fee of $600 and then an annual per user charge of $389 plus water usage, which based on 100 gallons per day of usage is estimated at $200/year.
Does the proposed new hotel need the new sewer?Â
No, the hotel has paid for a sewer permit to connect the majority of its flow to the existing system.
How much capacity is left in the existing wastewater system?
The two existing systems (Wayside and Lower Ballfield) are licensed for a total of 31,566 gallons per day and are currently close to capacity. At this time the Town is not issuing permits for the Wayside system, and the Ballfield system has only a limited amount of capacity remaining.
When will the new sewer be ready for connections?Â
If approved, construction of the new system will begin in late fall of 2019 and is expected to last two years.
New connections will be allowed once the system is completed, anticipated to be spring of 2022.
How long has the town been planning for this new wastewater system?Â
The Town has been planning for needed improvements to the wastewater system over the past decade, with the last two years concentrating on securing funding to help pay for a new system.
What will happen if we vote down the wastewater project? Will we lose the money?Â
The funding has been secured to perform the project as identified and cannot be reduced or changed.
If voted down, the money will likely go to other communities in need.
How long is the bond for and how long taxpayers will need to help out?
The taxpayers are being asked to support the Wastewater bond for 10 years.
The actual loan for the Wastewater system is 30 years at 2.375%.
Will we still need our septic tanks if we connect to the sewer?Â
The current Sewer Ordinance requires a septic tank and you will connect out of the tank to the new sewer.
Do we have to vote the same for all the questions on the ballot?
No, each question is separate, and you can vote differently on each of the questions.

Question 1. Shall an Ordinance entitled “Town of Bridgton Retail Medical Marijuana Caregiver Storefront Ordinance†be enacted?
Question 2. Shall an Ordinance entitled “Town of Bridgton Sign Ordinance†be enacted?

Question 4. To see if the Town will authorize the Board of Selectmen to expand the Town’s wastewater system in order to increase capacity, improve water quality, and promote economic growth (the “Projectâ€), with a Project cost not to exceed $22,880,000; to fund the Project through a combination of state and federal grants and general obligation bonds or notes; and to issue general obligation bonds or notes in the name of the Town in a principal amount not to exceed $13,528,000 for such portion of the Project cost that is not grant funded.
Treasurer’s Financial Statement
30-A M.R.S.A. § 5772(2-A)
1. Explanation of Funding: The Project engineer has estimated that at least $9,352,000 of the Project costs will be funded by state and federal grants through loan/grant agreements with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Office, which grant funding will be conditioned on the Town’s issuance of general obligation bonds or notes for up to $13,528,000 of the Project costs. After the Project is completed, the Board of Selectmen will levy sewer assessments, fees, and service charges on users of the wastewater system (“User Chargesâ€) in accordance with the Town of Bridgton Sewer Ordinance to defray the costs of the Project. Although the Project bonds will be issued as general obligations, the Project engineer has estimated that the application of User Charges will reduce the tax assessment for repayment of the Project bonds to an estimated $4,000,000 of bond principal plus interest.

Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact
Department Of Agriculture – Rural Development
Town of Bridgton, ME: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact
Agency: USDA
Action: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact.
Summary: The USDA has made a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to a request for possible financing assistance to Town of Bridgton for the construction of Wastewater System Upgrades in Cumberland County, Maine.
Further Information: To obtain copies of the EA and FONSI, or for further information, contact: Mike Jenkins, Area Loan Specialist, USDA Rural Development, 306 US Route 1, Suite B1, Scarborough, ME 04074, 207-289-2815, Michael.jenkins@me.usda.gov
Supplementary Information: The proposed project consists of replacing two aging wastewater treatment systems and numerous failing septic systems with a new centralized treatment facility. A new pressurized drip dispersal system will be constructed for discharge of the treated effluent via land application, for increased protection of existing nearby surface water bodies. Portions of the existing collection system including piping and pump stations will be rehabilitated. Alternatives considered by USDA and the Town of Bridgton include: No action; various effluent disposal alternatives; various collection system alternatives; various treatment technology alternatives; and construction of one or two treatment facility locations. The alternatives are discussed in the Wastewater System Upgrades EA. The USDA has reviewed and approved the EA for the proposed project.
The availability of the EA for public review was announced via notice in the following newspaper: Bridgton News on July 26, 2018 and August 2, 2018. A 14-day comment period was announced in the newspaper notices. The EA was also available for public review at the USDA Rural Development office as well as Town of Bridgton’s offices. No comments were received.
Based on its EA and commitments made by the Town of Bridgton, USDA has concluded that the project would have no significant impact (or no impacts) to water quality, wetlands, floodplains, land use, aesthetics, transportation, or human health and safety.
USDA has assessed the environmental impacts of this proposal and determined that the existing Park Street Pump Station is located in the floodplain. No new structures will be constructed at this location and no additional floodplain conversion will occur. In accordance with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management and USDA Departmental Regulation 9500-3, Land Use Policy, the Agency is notifying the interested public of this action.
The proposed project will have no adverse effect on resources listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Agency has also concluded that the proposed project is not likely to affect federally listed threatened and endangered species or designated critical habitat thereof. The proposed project would not disproportionately affect minority and/or low-income populations.
No other potential significant impacts resulting from the proposed project have been identified. Therefore, USDA has determined that this FONSI fulfills its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR §§ 1500-1508), and USDA Rural Development’s Environmental Policies and Procedures (7 CFR Part 1970) for its action related to the project.
USDA is satisfied that the environmental impacts of the proposed project have been adequately addressed. USDA’s federal action would not result in significant impacts to the quality of the human environment, and as such it will not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for its action related to the proposed project.

TOWN OF BRIDGTON
Announcing the Availability of an Environmental Assessment
Department of Agriculture – Rural Development
Town of Bridgton, Maine: Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment
Agency: USDA
Action: Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment
Summary: Notice is hereby given that the USDA, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) in connection with possible impacts related to a project proposed by the Town of Bridgton, Maine. The proposal is for construction of a new sanitary wastewater collection, treatment and effluent disposal system for the downtown area of the Town. The Town has submitted an application to the USDA for funding of the proposal.
For Further Information Contact: Mike Jenkins, Area Loan Specialist, USDA Rural Development, 306 US Route 1, Suite B1, Scarborough, MEÂ 04074, 207-289-2815, Michael.jenkins@me.usda.gov
Supplementary Information: The Town of Bridgton proposes to replace two aging wastewater treatment systems and numerous failing septic systems with a new centralized treatment facility. A new pressurized drip dispersal system will be constructed for discharge of the treated effluent via land application, for increased protection of existing nearby surface water bodies. Portions of the existing collection system including piping and pump stations will be rehabilitated.
Woodard & Curran, Inc., an environmental consultant, prepared an environmental assessment for USDA that describes the project, assesses the proposed project’s environmental impacts, and summarizes as applicable any mitigation measures used to minimize environmental effects. One of the existing pump stations to be rehabilitated is located within the floodplain. No new structures will be constructed at this pump station. A new watertight cover will be provided for the existing wet well, and all electrical equipment will be raised at least 1 foot above the base flood elevation. USDA has conducted an independent evaluation of the environmental assessment and believes that it accurately assesses the impacts of the proposed project. No significant impacts are expected as a result of the construction of the project.
Questions and comments should be sent to USDA at the address provided. USDA will accept questions and comments on the environmental assessment for 14 days from the date of publication of this notice.
Any final action by RUS related to the proposed project will be subject to, and contingent upon, compliance with all relevant Federal environmental laws and regulations and completion of environmental review procedures as prescribed by 7 CFR Part 1970, Environmental Policies and Procedures.
