The following is a message to all NVC wastewater customers, from Chuck Applebee, Utility Superintendent:
For the last six weeks or so the wastewater system has experienced severe overloading and the village is not always meeting our wastewater discharge permit limits for BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand).
This could be the result of a resident or residents discharging substances that the wastewater plant cannot adequately treat.
Some examples might be a small micro-brewery, coffee brewing at a commercial rate, a bakery, or other small commercial activities.
If you are discharging anything other than human waste and toilet paper please contact the Village Office to discuss the nature of your discharge at 207-338-0751.
Please refer to the following links detailing sewer guidance information for wastewater discharge:
