A crucial part of Norridgewock’s water infrastructure is set to be upgraded to improve its resiliency to flooding, thanks to a $1.05 million state grant. The grant, intended to fund improvements to the Norridgewock Water District’s water main on Upper Main Street, is part of $25.2 million in grants awarded to 39 communities from the Maine Infrastructure Adaptation Fund. The existing water main — about 3,400 feet of pipe underneath Upper Main Street, along the Kennebec River — is at risk if the embankment fails due to flooding and severe storms.
