Local water rates are among the lowest in Maine and could mean substantial savings. Saco's sewer treatment plant has been completely modernized in recent years and complies with all state and federal regulations. It is operating at 50 percent of its rated capacity of 4.2 million gallons per day. Sewer is available at all sites. Impact fees and quarterly sewer user fees can be calculated with additional information.
All sites are adjacent to major electrical and telephone lines.
Northern Utilities has the ability to serve large users with gas. Rubbish disposal costs in Saco are among the lowest cost in the Northeast because of special contract provisions for host communities for Maine Energy Company. Through our partnership with the Biddeford Saco Area Economic Development Corporation and the Finance Authority of Maine, the City can assist the company in obtaining the most advantageous financing terms. In addition to a good location, the City of Saco offers a number of tangible and intangible benefits. We believe that Saco is Maine's most progressive city.
