Legislators Approve Bill to Let Baileyville Disconnect Water over Unpaid Sewer Fees
Will Tuell
Senator Marianne Moore’s (R-Calais) bill that would give the Town of Baileyville the ability to disconnect public water if a ratepayer doesn’t pay their sewer bill passed the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee last week. Despite initial skepticism amongst EUT Democrats, the committee ultimately voted to pass the bill unanimously after agreeing to an amendment directing the Public Utilities Commission to review Baileyville’s plan before it goes into effect.
