The Select Board approved spending $17,680 for a new well and pump system for George and Erica Miller at 784 Farmington Falls Road. A letter provided from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to the Millers indicated the state will pay 90% of the cost and the town the rest.The property is at the base of the road to the Transfer Station, Town Manager Erica LaCroix said. She was first contacted in January regarding the PFAS, or so-called “forever chemicals” contaminating the well. “We have been buying him bottled water since January and will get reimbursed for that,” she noted.
