Drinking water restored in
Maine town |
|
PITTSFIELD, Maine – The
phone rings at 11 p.m. – the Town of
Pittsfield, Maine has at least two major
water main leaks and cannot fill its
reservoir. The leaks forced the town to
issue a boil order, but technical
assistance from rural water technicians
helped restore water service two days
later.
“It's all in a day's
work,” said Ron Bovine, a circuit rider
for the Maine Rural Water Association.
“That's what we are here for."
Scott Noble, Pittsfield
Assistant Superintendant of Pittsfield
Sewer and Water, called Bovine at 11
p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
