Board approves wastewater allocation for proposed 72 Market Street retail project

The Scarborough Sanitary District approved a wastewater allocation for a proposed 4,000‑square‑foot retail development at 72 Market Street after Superintendent Dave Hughes recommended approval with conditions. Hughes said the requested wastewater flow for the project is 250 gallons per day and that the project is subject to a capacity reserve fee; he stated the current capacity reserve fee was $2,086 per gallon (adjusted monthly by the ENR) and that, based on the current rate, "the total capacity reserve fee due for this project is $5,215." The project was approved on a motion and second with no opposition.

Hughes also outlined permit conditions: site work cannot begin before executed permits are in place and the project must submit grease and oil‑water separator permits with the associated fees. Trustees approved the superintendent's caveats before moving to accept the allocation.
