Spring 2025
The department is almost done with our annual Spring street sweeping. The areas first swept will be our Main Street and business areas. After that we will progress into the Wilson Street neighborhood and William Cohen School area; followed by The Heights, Middlesex Road neighborhoods, and neighborhoods off the Lewiston Road.
Please remember as in past years, you can sweep the winter sand off the sidewalks and the lawn along the front of you house, out along the edge of the road. We ask that you leave this dirt in a "wind row" rather than piles so our sweeper can pick it up. Please just the sandy material and don't include leaves and sticks because our sweeper cannot pick them up. You can take this material to the transfer station.
As the cleanup progresses, the crosswalks and road lines will be painted.
Please contact Public Works at 207-725-1728 with any questions or concerns.
Street Lights
The street lights in our town are now owned by the Town. They have been changed to energy efficient LED fixtures. If you have a light out in your neighborhood, please contact Public Works at 725-1728 and leave the pole number and closest street address to the light.
Thank you for your cooperation.
