Share Wayne and Readfield officials are looking to find a joint code enforcement and plumbing inspector, a position that has been difficult to fill and retain. The towns’ struggle to keep someone in the position is reflective of a statewide issue, according to Eric Conrad, spokesman for the Maine Municipal Association.
