MainePublic Broadcasting - The
Rumford Water District has signed a deal with Poland Spring Water Co.,
that will allow it to draw up to 150 million gallons of water per year
for 15 years, from two district wells.
But Water
District Superintendant Brian Gagnon says, under the deal, the town's
needs will come first. "We come first, and we're holding an amount of up
to a million gallons a day that would be used for the townspeople."
Gagnon
says in addition to estimated $200,000 to $300,000 in revenues a year
from the sale of the water to Poland Spring, Rumford will also get just
over $1 million from the company over the next four years, to use as it
sees fit.
