Hartland selectmen accept $2 million in state grants for sewer and wastewater upgrades
Summary
Selectmen voted 3-0 to accept two $1,000,000 grants from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection — one for Phase 2 of the Commercial Street Sewer and one for Phases 2 and 3 of the wastewater treatment plant upgrade — both recorded as 100% forgiven and administered by the Maine Municipal Bond Bank.
The Hartland Selectmen voted 3-0 on Sept. 16 to accept two $1,000,000 grants from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for local water infrastructure projects.
The board accepted $1,000,000 for Phase 2 of the Commercial Street Sewer, recorded in the minutes as 100% forgiven and funded through the Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Law. A second motion accepted $1,000,000 for Phases 2 and 3 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade; the minutes identify that grant as administered through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program by the Maine Municipal Bond Bank and likewise 100% forgiven.
Both motions passed unanimously. The minutes record that the grants are administered by the Maine Municipal Bond Bank; the record does not specify implementation timelines, match requirements, or project schedules. The board also initialed the August 2024 expense and revenue report during the meeting.
Selectmen did not record further details in the minutes about contract awards, project start dates, or staff assignments for the grant-funded work; those implementation details are expected to be handled by staff and disclosed in future agenda materials.
