Notices

• Attention residents of Casco! Like and follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/townofcascomaine for updates, cool information, and more!
• Four-Way Stop Light at Route 11 and Route 121 Intersection: The Maine Department of Transportation will be installing a four-way stop light at the intersection of Route 11 and Route 121 in the coming weeks. Roadside message boards alerting traffic to the upcoming four-way stop light and other changes near the intersection will soon be installed. The Casco Selectboard recently voted in favor of supporting MDOT’s recommendation to alter the intersection from a two-way stop to a four-way stop. The following link includes the letter of support and notes from a meeting with MDOT attended by Town officials and elected representatives.
• Private Road Plowing and Sanding: The Casco Selectboard recently voted to grant a one year blanket extension to the October 31, 2019 deadline for private roads that currently receive plowing and sanding services from the Town to meet the 1972 road standards. However, sufficient easements must be provided or we will be unable plow this upcoming winter season. Legally, the Town cannot expend public funds on private property without a public interest. Easements are what give us that interest. Letters detailing this process have been mailed out. Click here to see a list regarding the status of private roads with regard to easements. Sample easements are available at the Town Office and must be completely, and correctly, filled out. All related questions should be directed to Courtney O’Donnell, Town Manager & Road Commissioner at 627-4515 or manager@cascomaine.org.
  A new section on the Town Office page has been added which contains the documents and forms necessary for the plowing of private roads.
• Water Testing: Two nearby labs (Maine Environmental Labs in Yarmouth 846-6560 and A&L Lab in Auburn 784-5354) charge $35 for Radon and $35 for Uranium. Both labs provide free test kits and instructions. A&L has kits available for pick up at the UPS Store in No. Windham and you can ship it back to CA&L free of charge from the Windham UPS Store.
