City of Bangor Begins
Important Project to Renovate and Repair "Biotower" on Main
Street
The purpose of this notice is to inform you that the City of Bangor WWTP is
beginning an important project to renovate and repair the "Biotower"
at 760 Main St. There have been several news articles about this vitally
necessary work that you may have seen recently. The project is scheduled to
begin in earnest the week of June 6th, and will continue throughout the summer
months.
Because we value you as neighbors and are committed to maintain our good
relations, we want you to know during the time the project is underway it is anticipated
there will be no disruption of sewer service or wastewater treatment. That
being said, there may times when odors may become apparent. At worst, these may
be reminiscent of an earthy tone, similar to low tide along the coast. We
apologize in advance and ask your patience. Please be assured, we will do
everything within our ability to minimize the intensity and duration of such
occurrences. You may also notice an increase in truck traffic at certain times
as well. Again, we will attempt to minimize any inconvenience to our neighbors.
Our service to the sewer rate payers of the City and Hampden is a matter of
pride to our employees, and we at the Department of Water Quality strive to
maintain the highest standards of service to you all. Please understand that
this work is needed to continue that service. We will accomplish the work as
efficiently as possible, while minimizing any impact to your lives.
On behalf of all the employees of the Department of Water Quality, I thank you
kindly for your understanding and forbearance in advance. Should you have any
questions or concerns, please contact us at the WWTP, 992-4470.
My staff and I are at your service.
Andy Rudzinski
Director, Department of Water Quality
