FOR SALE
Sewer Inspection Van
The Sanford Sewerage District purchased this unit in 2015. We have inspected over 50 miles of public sewer in Sanford. This unit has proved to be an immensely important piece of equipment to our tool box. It has allowed us to identify our problematic areas prompting regular maintenance or scheduling segments of pipe to be replaced, relined, pipe burst, and point repair. It is also helpful during emergency sewer backups. We no longer have reoccurring sewer blockages because we now identify the source of the backup. Lots of spare components! The price is $100,000 or a reasonable best offer. Please give us a call if you are interested in inspecting your public lines.

ATTENTION SSD RATE PAYERS:
Due to the Maine State Legislature passing LD 1911, the Sanford Sewerage District (SSD) will be faced with a significant increase in expenses starting in 2023, associated with new sludge disposal laws and regulations. The new law mandates that all biosolids be disposed of in a state-approved landfill as a way to contain the poly-perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or more widely known as “forever chemicals”. Unfortunately, these landfills are located at some distance from our community, therefore transportation will be part of the increased expenses as well as the tipping fee.
Over the years, the Sanford Sewerage District has utilized many alternative ways of disposing sludge that reduces the costs on our rate payers. We are currently seeking the landfill that offers the District the best available pricing for tipping fees. However, the significant increases in costs brought on by this new law will require the district to raise our rates for our services. We intend to hold a public hearing on this matter sometime in October. Please do not hesitate to contact the Superintendent if you have any further questions.
On January 10, at 5PM, The District will hold a public hearing regarding the enactment of a policy entitled “Remote Meeting and Participation Policy”. The hearing will take place at the main office located at 281 River St, Springvale. Questions should be directed to the superintendent at 324 5313 or abrousseau@sanfordsewerage.org

DO NOT FLUSH WIPES!
Please do not flush wipes of any kind. Wipes are not flushable. They clog the pipes and our pump stations. This puts our crew at a risk at anytime, but more so during this time of Covid-19. We have to manually by hand remove these wipes when they get clogged exposing any of workers.
Wipes can also clog your own pumps and cost you up to $300 to have a plumber to clean them out for you. Think twice before you flush your wipes!
