MAINE, USA Governor Janet Mills continued crisscrossing the state to promote her Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan on Wednesday. This time, her stop at the 78-year-old Venture Way Standpipe in Bangor highlighted what she says is one of many outdated water systems that municipalities need upgrading.
The governor used the standpipe backdrop as an example of Maine s crumbling drinking and wastewater infrastructure.
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) awarded loans for water, sanitary and storm sewer projects to two communities and a water district through the State Revolving Fund Programs in May.
Valley City received a $250,000 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan and a $180,000 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan towards replacement of an aging water main, storm and sanitary sewer. This project will ensure the safe transmission of water, sanitary sewer and stormwater for the residents.
All Seasons Water Users District received a $371,000 DWSRF loan to install a below-grade concrete reservoir and a booster pump station south of Rolla to increase flow in low-pressure areas, thus providing increased pressures to the existing system.

PETERSBURG – Conversations about Petersburg’s water infrastructure are usually sprinkled with comments about pipes dating back to the civil war, and a fear that the city could become “the next Flint, Michigan.”
Questions about this aging infrastructure are coming back to the forefront now that Petersburg is responsible for upgrading the water and sewer infrastructure that feeds into the city’s incoming pharma manufacturing cluster.
Upgrades to the utilities in this region could ultimately benefit a fair number of neighborhoods and businesses.
A study from 2006 said that the Poor Creek Sewer Service Area was at or near capacity across the entire system. That 7.1 square mile portion of piping in the city’s southeastern corner accounts for about one-third of Petersburg’s wastewater utility.
