The Portland Water District Board is being asked on June 8, 2026 to authorize issuance of up to 1,600,000 in sewer bonds to finance upgrades to the Tuttle Road Force Main and related wastewater and sewage infrastructure in the Town of Cumberland. This funding implements a project already included in the approved 2026 Capital Improvement Plan and assumes a 20‑year bond, with design and construction to follow bond sale through either public offering or the Maine Municipal Bond Bank’s Clean Water SRF or General Resolution programs. For vendors, this confirms a funded pipeline and force main rehabilitation project that will require engineering design, construction, materials, and potentially controls and inspection services. The Treasurer is empowered to select financial advisors, underwriters, and other service providers, and technical scopes will move into procurement once financing is in place.
