In Fiscal Year 21, Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset experienced a $294,919 budget shortfall due to unanticipated expenses. On Jan. 26, Lincoln County Administrator Carrie Kipfer announced under Gov. Janet Mills’ $3 million FY 22 supplemental budget, Lincoln and Sagadahoc will be reimbursed for those expenses. “The jail’s expenses exceeded revenues. I worked with (Jail Administrator) James Bailey on unanticipated and capital expenses, like repairs and purchasing new equipment for $39,000. I later spoke to the state, and those funds will be split between the two counties, and transferred to the jail,” she said. Kipfer expected the fund transfer to occur on Jan. 27.

NATICK The E. coli contamination found in samples of the town’s drinking water was likely caused by an inadvertent cross-contamination at the testing lab, said acting Town Administrator Robert Rooney.
Rooney gave that conclusion provided by town staff and an independent engineer Wednesday night to the Select Board.
Natick will find another lab to test its samples, Rooney said. The lab Natick currently uses is certified by the state Department of Environmental Protection. It has tested 20,000 Natick water samples through the years, including more than 1,500 annually.
Until a deal is reached with a new lab, a Massachusetts Water Resources Authority lab will test Natick’s water samples.
