Limerick Water & Sewer

Quasi-Municipal Utility

 

The Limerick Water and Sewer Districts are quasi-municipal utilities created in 1958 and 1955 respectfully, by acts of the Maine State Legislature.    Today the service area includes portions of the upper village and the lower village.

We, at Limerick Water District, work hard to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect and preserve our drinking water resources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children’s future. Please contact us with any questions. Thank you for working together for safe drinking water.

NOTICE OF CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION


The State of Maine, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Drinking Water Program (DWP) has issued a Categorical Exclusion in compliance with Section 6 of "Rules Relating to Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund, Chapter 230", on behalf of the Limerick Water District (LWD) of Limerick, Maine.  Issuance of the Categorical Exclusion is to exempt a proposed action from formal Environmental Review requirements.


The proposed action is to purchase a parcel of land comprised of 45.5 acres in Limerick, Maine.  As development and human activities have the potential to contaminate public water supply sources, the DWP considers land ownership the most desirable means of protection.  The full parcel is within Limerick Water District's wellhead protection area located near the intersection of Emery Corner Road and Quarry Road in Limerick, as delineated by Dirigo Engineering in their "New Well Approval Report for Limerick Water District Auxiliary Well for the Limerick Water District, July 13, 2021".


A review of the proposed action by the DWP has indicated that it meets the criteria for Categorical Exclusion.  Specifically, the proposed action is the purchase of land integral to the implementation of a source water protection plan.  Furthermore, none of the criteria which would result in the denial of a Categorical Exclusion have been met.  This exclusion may be revoked at any time if the criteria used for this issuance are violated.


Further records of this project are on file and are available for review at the office of the Limerick Water District, 316 Burnham Road, Limerick, ME, 04048, and at the Department of Health and Human Services, Drinking Water Program, 286 Water Street, Augusta, Maine.
