Approximately half of the production is shipped in the form of rolls. The Brewer mill also maintains a warehousing facility, which enables Eastern to provide next day shipment from stock of their standard grades to most Eastern customers. These customers include printers, paper merchants and other paper companies. The pulp mill was shut down in 1967, but the water treatment, steam and electrical generation facilities continued in operation. Thus, the paper mill is supported by water treatment, steam and electrical capacity that is far beyond that of a paper mill of its size.
Fresh water is sourced from Brewer Lake and receives pressure sand filtration treatment.
Effluent from the mill, which is normally 1.0 million gallons per day, is sent to a recently installed gravity pretreatment filter prior to being sent to a mill-municipal joint waste treatment plant. This plant is located on land adjacent to the mill which was provided by Eastern. Transportation of these waste solids to Lincoln is via returning pulp trucks. In 1995, Eastern received the Maine Wastewater Control Association award for the best industrial pretreatment facility in the state. The mill operates at 575 v.
