Item No. 17-083
Date: February 13, 2017
ORDINANCE, Amending Chapter 252, Sewers and Drains, of the Code of the
City of Bangor, by Allowing Additional Fuel Sources for Standby Power
Generators
Responsible Department: Community and Economic Development
Commentary:
This ordinance amendment would allow private pump stations to use a wider variety of fuel
sources for their backup power generators.
Private pump stations, used to move wastewater to the City sewer system, are required to have
standby generators in case of power failure. At present, these must be gasoline or diesel
generators. This ordinance amendment would allow other fuel sources to be used as well.
This item was discussed at the Infrastructure Committee meeting on January 24, 2017.
