Wastewater Department

We would like to remind the residents of Millinocket to please NOT flush wipes, paper towels, grease, plastics, Q-tips or anything other than toilet paper into the sewer system. Even the "flushable" wipes will clog the sewer system. These items are causing extreme plugs to the sewer system and costly maintenance to our pumping stations. We would like to thank the residents for this consideration.

Ofc Clayton and K-9 Derby are set to graduate the first phase of K-9 school and will return to patrol before leaving for school again in April. This will be a huge asset to the region, which again was funded by grant money.

Ofc Edson recently successfully became certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as a Child Passenger Safety Seat Technician. Ofc Edson will be able to provide inspections and assistance with installation of child safety seats to all community members at NO COST!

Officers were able to participate in multiple Trunk-or-Treat events in the region over Halloween. We can easily say these events were highly attended and successful as officers ran out of candy multiple times! Its great to see the community provide such fun and safe events for our children and we are lucky to be a part of them!

We are planning on another very busy Marathon weekend and will have multiple additional resources in town to help make a safe, enjoyable event!

The DEP required summer flushing of the town sewers has reached its conclusion. We did have a few situations of water being forced back into residences and this brings up the need for homeowners to install backflow valves to alleviate this risk. This is also a good time to remind everyone that wipes, cooking grease and other foreign objects cause problems in the sewer.

The crew has started the fall leaf pickup service. We are happy to pick up any bagged leaves that are left curbside. Please call the Public Works and leave the address where the leaves need to be picked up.

We are continuing to trim brush and limbs that are causing line of sight obstructions and growing into the rights-of-way around town. Currently we are focusing on limbs that risk damage to our plow trucks.

With winter fast approaching I want to remind everyone that our trucks need lots of room to maneuver and have many inherent blind spots. Please give us room to clear your streets. Please seethe image below.



The new Arial Lift truck is being built at the dealer. I have word that all parts are now in stock, and the truck should be delivered by the end of November.

Fire/EMS Department



Crews have been busy with a increasing number of Fire & EMS calls in the past month. 

Chief Cote attended the Baxter Park Volunteer Recognition Banquet, and the department was presented with a certificate for there service to the park. 

Please make sure to inspect all electric heaters prior to use. 

If you have a need for emergency services, please call 911 to request assistance and not the non-emergency number, as crews are not always guaranteed to be in the building.

If you need smoke alarms, please reach out to the fire department and they will work with the American Red Cross to get you smoke alarms. 

As winter is approaching fast, please make sure your walkways are shoveled, and addresses can be seen so emergency crews can assist you without any delays.
