All in good fun the jokes and puns are flying about our subject for April’s history talk, but you really don’t want to miss this!
Join local resident and Kennebec Sanitary Treatment District Superintendent, Nick Champagne, for a photo journey through the process of creating the facility and how it serves to keep the Kennebec River clean. First, we will learn the common misconceptions about what KSTD is and does, and the areas it serves (much more than just Waterville). He will walk you through the steps of the incredible earthwork which was done to prepare the site and everything that went into the building process. The havoc of storms and flooding through the years have presented challenges for recovery. Then our journey will bring us to what they do today, much of what was not envisioned back when it was created.
Nick would also like to hear your memories about what this area of Water Street was like before the facility was built and questions you may have.
Saturday, April 5th, door opens at 2:00 p.m., Nick’s presentation begins at 2:30. Admission is free, donations gladly accepted! Light refreshments are available during the social time. Please join us. Bring a friend or two!
Look for the Redington Museum sign at 62 Silver Street and the presentation sign outside the door to lead you into Marriner Hall. See you on Saturday, April 5th. If you have any questions, please call 872-9439.
