Members of the Rockport Select Board were recently presented with a number of options for how and where the municipality’s wastewater is processed in the future, ranging from maintaining existing intermunicipal agreements with neighboring communities to building two new wastewater treatment facilities in town.
Nate McLaughlin, a principal at Saco-based firm Woodard & Curran (W&C) outlined five options for the board at its April 26 meeting. W&C had been hired by the Select Board in February to conduct a $10,000 study which included performing a sewer user charge/flow appropriation calculation, within which the firm would review the the rate structure pertaining to the interlocal agreements with Camden and Rockland.
