AUBURN, ME — The Auburn Water District is using stimulus funds to help finance its new $7.7 million ultraviolet (UV) water treatment plant being built on the banks of Lake Auburn, an August 10 Sun Journal story said.
Local, state and national officials were scheduled to take part in a ceremonial groundbreaking on August 11 at the construction site.
John Storer of the Auburn Water District said that using UV disinfection treatment appealed to the district because “it’s not another chemical we’re putting into the water.”
Construction, which already has started, is scheduled to wrap up in 2010. The facility will provide treated water to the cities of Auburn and Lewiston, the story said.
