The city of Bangor is suing the Bangor Mall after a broken sewer line caused human excrement to flow into a nearby stream. The mall’s owner failed to address a nearly 5-foot wide stormwater pipe that broke and caused a cascade of issues, which ended with human excrement flowing into stormwater ponds that drain into the Penjajawoc Stream, according to a lawsuit filed Friday. This is the second lawsuit the city has filed against the mall’s owner this year. The lawsuits come as the mall has struggled to retain businesses for years due to its deteriorating conditions.
