Bath Water District Faces High Costs in Maine
The Bath Water District warns it is the state’s most difficult and expensive water utility to operate. The sixteenth annual report covers 1931 to 1934, detailing aging pipes, under river mains, heavy rock excavation, and a long narrow system that complicates pressure. Trustees note no borrowing, fixed on serving the community at cost, with careful meter expansion and extensions to improve pressure in the south end.
