Résumé

This chapter of the Maine Revised Statutes concerns sanitary districts. The purpose of each sanitary district formed under this chapter shall be to construct, maintain, operate and provide a system of sewerage, sewage and commercial and industrial waste disposal and sewage treatment and of storm and surface water drainage, for public purposes and for the health, welfare, comfort and convenience of the inhabitants of the district. A sanitary district may only be formed where the Board of Environmental Protection finds that there is a need throughout a part or all of the territory embraced within the proposed district for the accomplishment of the purpose of providing an adequate, efficient system and means of collecting, conveying, pumping, treating and disposing of domestic sewage and industrial wastes within the proposed district and that such purposes can be effectively accomplished therein on an equitable basis by a sanitary district if created and that the creation and maintenance of such a district will be administratively feasible and in furtherance of the public health, safety and welfare.
