Boothbay Harbor Sewer District (BHSD) operator-in-charge Chris Higgins said July 15, a “significant” number of things need repair in the collection system department, including back-up floats and battery units. A comprehensive list is being compiled. Higgins said many issues can be repaired in-house, but some replacement parts will likely need to be bought, as BHSD lost supplies in the February garage fire.  

In other business, BHSD is waiting for its neighbor, Bristol Marine, to grant an easement to Central Maine Power. According to Higgins, there was previously an easement for overhead lines, but the new agreement is for underground wiring work.  

The district’s 2024 audit report is underway, and the district hopes to see it in the next month.
