Traffic control, as needed. The Town of Falmouth Wastewater Department owns, operates, and maintains the "Town Landing Interceptor Sewer". Constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the Town Landing Interceptor Sewer (TLIS) collects and conveys wastewater generated east of Route 88 (Foreside Road) from Amerescoggin Road in the north to the Handy Boat pump station. The TLIS is located within a 30' wide easement and approximately 4,200' in length. Much of the TLIS is near a steep slope that runs towards the coastline. Coastal erosion has and continues to threaten the Town Landing Sewer Interceptor. Wave action, sea level rise, intense rainfall and groundwater pressure have resulted in slope failures along the coastline. In 2015, the Town completed a study of slope failures in select areas along the Interceptor. To date, none of these failures have impacted the Town's sewer infrastructure. However, close monitoring and observation of the Interceptor is needed as plans to secure the infrastructure are considered. This survey effort will serve the Town of Falmouth Wastewater Department by establishing a baseline of sewer pipe proximity to the slope and identify areas of concern where the pipe is closest to the slope
