Publisher's Synopsis
In 1969 and also in 1987, the State of Maine legislature signed into law a process by which any landowner believing his or her water supply to be adversely affected by public con- struction, reconstruction, or maintenance of roads can apply to the political subdivision for redress (23 M.R.S.A. 652 (Maine Legislature, 2012, p. 60-61) and 3659 (Maine Legislature, 2012, p. 227-229)). Adverse effects can include those from road salting (University of Maine, School of Law, 2003; Maine Department of Transportation, 2004; State of Maine Judicial Branch, 2008), and redress can include replacing plumbing and (or) heating systems, replacing the water supply, repairing damage to the water supply, paying a designated sum of money, and (or) purchasing the real estate served by the water supply."
