The current trunk line, which also serves adjacent <br />communities allocates only 116 aociitional sewer units for the Orono area in <br />the western section of the corridor. However, various improvements to a <br />short segment of the line would result in an increase in capacity to 600 units. <br />This improvement would be financed by developers of the area to be <br />improved.

Municipal water would be provided from the Long <br />Lake system, the capacity of which was recently increased by installing a <br />1 <br />id...._______
