From the Town Office

Office Hours— We are open Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. As always, if you need assistance at other times, please don’t hesitate to call (846-3148) and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. From the Planning Board— Maintaining your home fuel oil tank is an important way to help protect Chebeague’s aquifer! An annual oil-tank inspection increases the chances of avoiding costly problems for you, the aquifer, and the environment! When replacing your tank, consider upgrading to a double-wall tank to increase longevity and reduce risk. You should upgrade your tank if: • It’s weeping, patched, or repaired—review for evidence of “saturation” metal by oil or patching • It’s not stable or well supported; in others words, inspect the legs • It fails an ultrasonic test or is too rusty to test • It has an unsleeved feedline in concrete—that is, if the oil feed line running from your tank to your boiler or furnace is encased in your concrete basement floor and is not coated in a material such as plastic. For more information regarding your oil tank, please contact Jon Rich Plumbing at 522-3439, LNL Enterprises at 272-4487, or Maine DEP at www.maine.gov/dep/waste/abovegroundtanks/ replacement.html . For information regarding potential financial assistance, contact Katie Wilcox at 553-5913. Budget Workshops— The Board of Selectmen are beginning to work on the 2019–2020 Budget. If you have a proposal to put

before the Board, please contact the Town Administrator. Tax Bills— The first half of the tax bill was due September 28, 2018. Interest at 8% began to accrue September 29, 2018. If you have any questions, please contact the Town Office. Dog Licenses— Please come in and license your dog. The last day to register without incurring a $25 late fee was January 31, 2019 . Transfer Station Hours— The Transfer Station is open Wednesday and Friday afternoon from 1:30 to 4:00 and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m. The Transfer Station is closed Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Please remember that this is a pay-as-you-throw facility. RECYCLING NEWS!!— Be aware! Ecomaine continues to charge us for contaminated recycled materials that are sent to them. Contaminated items are basically garbage that gets in the wrong container. The last container we sent to ecomaine included 3 full bags of trash, 20+ empty plastic bags, styrofoam trays, egg cartons, and a large suitcase! If you don’t know which items are appropriate for recycling, please ask the attendant or check the side of the recycling container for information. We do not want to be charged for contamination; please be diligent about what you place in the recycling container . Thank you for your support, and remember to be kind to one another, Marjorie E. Stratton, Town Administrator
