Brownville, Maine

The purpose of the Brownville, Maine Wastewater Treatment Facility is to protect public health and the environment by conveying and treating Brownville's wastewater. Brownville, Maine residents agreed in 1985 to build and operate the Brownville Wastewater Subsurface Disposal Treatment Plant to help clean the polluted waters of the Pleasant River. Since then, the Town of Brownville has helped to prevent water pollution and improve water quality while recycling and reusing natural resources.

Effective wastewater treatment is critical to the quality of life and the physical health of Brownville residents and visitors. It not only protects people who use local beaches and waterways for swimming, fishing and other recreational activities, it also protects local wildlife and their habitats.
