Work starts on pumping station

Construction has begun on a controversial Poland Spring water pumping station in East Fryeburg.

The $2.1 million station will take four to six months to complete and will ship water via an underground pipeline from a source in Denmark to the company's bottling facilities, according to a press release from Poland Spring, which is a subsidiary of Nestle Waters North America.

The town's planning board in 2005 approved the project, prompting a citizens group to appeal the decision. In March of this year, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled in favor of Poland Spring to allow the company to build the facility.
