Senator Marianne Moore (R-Calais) presented a bill before the Legislature’s Energy, Utilities, and Technology Committee on behalf of the Town of Baileyville that would give the town’s utilities district the authority to disconnect town water for failure to pay local sewer fees during a March 21 public hearing. Moore, who did not testify to the merits of the bill, explained that she had been approached by town officials who were struggling to recoup debt incurred by the town’s sewer district.
