LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen voted unanimously Monday to authorize the town attorney to enter into mediation with the town of Jay concerning a dispute over the sewer agreement.
Livermore Falls owns the Livermore Falls Sewage Treatment Plant on Foundry Road, which serves residents in Livermore Falls and a portion of Jay.
Livermore Falls paid 51 percent of a $5.8 million upgrade to the plant in the late 1990s, and Jay paid 49 percent of it. The operation and maintenance cost of the plant are paid for by a percentage from each town based on sewage treatment flow.
Jay paid more for operation and maintenance of the plant for the last several years because the town had more wastewater flow than Livermore Falls.
Livermore Falls Board of Selectmen Chairman Bill Demaray said Monday there is a disagreement over the interpretation of the agreement between the two towns.
The town’s attorney is Pat Dunn, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said.
In other business, selectmen voted unanimously to acknowledge History Night on Friday, May 25, in the downtown area as a town function. The event is from 4 to 8 p.m. For more information on the event, go to
By the town acknowledging the event, it will be covered by the town’s liability insurance, Selectman Louise Chabot said.
Big trucks will be rerouted around the downtown during the night.
