Saco Accepts Scontras Contract
The Saco City Council voted 5 to 1 to approve a contract with developer Nicholas Scontras to connect Wildwood housing to city sewerage at his expense. Scontras will build a pumping station, lay a six inch force main along Wildwood Drive to Ferry Road, link to an abandoned eight inch water main, and connect to the city gravity main. He will cover pumping and sewer maintenance costs. The city retains rights to the abandoned pipe and will take over once the pumping station serves Ferry Road residents. A June 4 vote had approved a different version. Mayor Braley criticized the final document as discriminatory and a potential burden on the city treasury.
