The Borough of Portland welcomed public sewer to its community in 2008. It was a very large and expensive undertaking for our very small community. It is very costly to operate the waste water treatment plant so we ask our customers to please be mindful of what you place down your drain(s).
Sanitary Sewer Customers
Residential & Commercial
Please remember that ONLY human waste and flushable
water are the ONLY things that should be going down the drain.
NO antifreeze, NO paint thinner,
NO heavy duty cleaners
Cleaners and chemicals cause a disruption to the bacteria at the treatment plant and can lead to monetary fines and substantial costs to all sewer customers.
Also just because something says it is biodegradable or composts, “green”, does not mean it can go down the drain.
