Maine Town to Get $5M from USDA to Make Wastewater Upgrades
NORRIDGEWOCK, Maine (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is giving the town of Norridgewock $5 million in grants and loans to make improvements to wastewater infrastructure.
The money will come in the form of a loan of $2.8 million and a grant of $2.2 million. The USDA says the sewer system serves more than 300 households along with two dozen businesses and six public facilities.
Tommy Higgins, acting state director for USDA Rural Development in Maine, says the investment will facilitate important upgrades to the town’s aging wastewater system and reduce risk to the environment, including the nearby Kennebec River.
USDA Rural Development says it has invested more than $270 million in Maine water and wastewater facilities in the past decade.
