Poland Spring won't give up

Poland Spring Water Company is asking Fryeburg's Board of Appeals to reverse a previous ruling by the town's planning board that denied the company's application for a trucking facility in town.

After a long, drawn-out battle with the town to set up a water trucking station where 50 trucks a day would load up with spring water from a nearby aquifer, the planning board in November said the facility did not fit within the town's rural zoning district. In the last two years, the case has circulated through the planning board and appeals board, and up to the Oxford County Superior Court and the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Both courts remanded the matter to the planning board, according to the Sun Journal in Lewiston. In November, Fryeburg residents approved a six-month moratorium on the bulk transport and processing of water in town.

Now the bottled water company, owned by Nestlé Waters North America, is trying to get another verdict from the board of appeals. That meeting will take place Thursday, the newspaper reported.
