the district sewer within 90 days after receiving from the district
a request to connect or within such further time as the trustees of
the district may grant. Whenever feasible, each building must have
a separate connection to the district's sewer. A building is
considered accessible to a sewer of the district if the building is
at any point within 200 feet of a district sewer or if any private
sewer or drain directly or indirectly connected to the building or
carrying wastewater or commercial or industrial waste from the
building comes within 200 feet of a district sewer. This section
does not require the owner of a building to acquire any real
property or easement for the sole purpose of making the connection.

 
In accordance with the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 38,
section 1252, subsection 3, existing buildings that are already
served by a private sewer system are not required to connect with
any sewer or drain of the district.

 
Sec. 11. Contracts authorized. The district is authorized to contract

sewage and commercial and industrial wastewater and storm and
surface water through the district's system and through the
system owned by any such person, corporation, district or other
municipality. Every other district and municipality of the State
may contract with the district for the collection, distribution,
treatment and disposal of sewage and commercial and industrial
wastewater, and for those purposes any such municipality may
raise money as for other municipal charges.

purpose, the work must be done expeditiously. Upon completion of
the work, the district shall restore the way or land to the

as good. Whenever the character of the work is such that it
endangers travel on a public way, the municipal officers of the
Town of Kennebunk may order a temporary closing of the way and of
any intersecting way upon request of the district. The way must
remain closed to public travel until the municipal officers

section 1252, subsection 8. The district or
