| Extending the territory of the Boothbay Harbor Sewer District is a state mandate pursuant to the Maine constitution. Assuming responsibility for sewage currently handled by private, on-site disposal systems will increase costs to the district. The new customers of the district will generate revenue that will offset at least some of these additional costs.. Pursuant to the Mandate Preamble, the two-thirds vote of all the members elected to each House exempts the State from the constitutional requirement to fund 90% of the additional local costs. | Public Utility | Significant | |||||||
