Anson & Madison Sanitary District

Anson & Madison Sanitary District is a local government entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Madison, Maine, with its primary focus on municipal wastewater management and environmental infrastructure services. The organization serves the towns of Madison and Anson, operating a critical wastewater treatment facility that supports regional environmental and public health objectives. As a U.S. local government and municipality, the district is positioned to receive federal grants that support infrastructure improvements and environmental conservation efforts.

The sanitary district has secured significant federal grant awards, most notably a $625,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program. This recent grant, awarded in May 2024, focuses on installing advanced PFAS treatment, tertiary filtration, and pre-conditioning systems at its wastewater facility to remove harmful PFAS compounds before discharging treated water into the Kennebec River. Previously, the district received a Waste Disposal Project Grant from the Rural Utilities Service in July 2020, and has a recent sub-grant award from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for a PFAS treatment facility as of February 2024. These grants demonstrate the district's commitment to improving water quality, reducing environmental contaminants, and implementing advanced treatment technologies to protect regional water resources and public health.
