Our residents at Whippoorwill Hill Mobile Home Park in Wiscasset are experiencing ongoing difficulties and dangers caused by unsafe drinking water, overflowing septic fields, water drainage problems. Our park’s drinking water, according to tests from Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services, contains a uranium level that exceeds the maximum contaminant level and “can cause cancer.” A local official warned me that a judge will likely ignore the existence of such a high uranium level. Judges in Lincoln County tend to satisfy the interests of landlords at the expense of the renters. ~ Tom Kurtz, Wiscasset
