Site work for a civil project in Falmouth, Maine. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Town of Falmouth Wastewater Department seeks qualified contractors to satisfactorily complete replacement and relocation of the existing wastewater treatment facility outfall and headwall. The Town of Falmouth owns and operates a wastewater treatment facility located at 96 Clearwater Drive. The Facility was originally constructed in 1970, with the outfall as it currently exists installed sometime in the 1980s. Over the ensuing decades, tidal action and coastal erosion have undermined the headwall and placed the outfall at risk. This project will demolish the existing headwall and outfall, including associated piping, and relocate the headwall further upland with new piping and a rip rap outfall swale.
