| The District: |
| |
|
|
| |
The Brunswick Sewer District (BSD) is a quasi‑municipal not‑for‑profit
corporation chartered in 1947 by state legislature and charged with
responsibility for collection, pumping, treatment, and disposal of
municipal wastewater. |
| |
|
|
| District Organization: |
| |
|
|
| |
The District is organized into four divisions, each having separate
responsibilities. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Collection Division comprises approximately fifty miles of sanitary
sewer gravity and pressure mains. Storm and sanitary sewers were
separated in 1955. There are no known combined sewer overflows. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Pumping Division is made up of eighteen wastewater pumping stations
ranging in size from 100 to 1,500 gallons per minute. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Treatment Operations Division includes a single primary and secondary
level plant designed for 3.85 mgd (million gallons daily) average and
11.1 mgd peak daily flows. The Division is also responsible for
utilization of municipal wastewater sludge generated in the treatment
process. |
| |
|
|
| |
The three
operations divisions are supported by an Administrative Division
responsible for general accounting and recordkeeping. |
| |
|
|
| Source of Flow: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
The
majority of District flows originate in the Town of Brunswick, Maine |
| |
|

| |
By
agreements with the United States Navy and the Topsham Sewer District,
BSD facilities receive and treat flows originating at Naval Air Station
Brunswick and the Town of Topsham, Maine as well |
| |
|
|
| |
Plant facilities by permit also accept and treat septic and holding
tank waste from several area communities. |
