Woolwich voters may consider a solar proposal at the April 29 annual town meeting after a similar proposal for the Nequasset Meetinghouse was rejected.

Selectmen’s Chairman David King Sr. said ReVision Energy of Portland and Liberty was developing an estimate for a solar array at the town’s former landfill. King and Selectman Allison Hepler met with a ReVision representative last week and were encouraged by what they heard.

“The first six years we wouldn’t save anything on it but after that we would,” King said Monday night in response to a question from resident Don Adams.

King said the array would provide up to 90 percent of the municipal building’s electrical needs; the panels have a life expectancy of 20 years. ReVision also looked at placing a solar array behind the town office but found the location unsuitable.

Hepler said the board still needs to decide if it will put ReVision’s proposal on the warrant. If it does,Hepler felt the board should hold an informational meeting for ReVision to explain the proposal to residents.

After hearing from Debbie Locke of the Nequasset Meeting House Committee, selectmen voted unanimously to place an article on the warrant to spend up to $3,500 for repairs. The warrant will be finalized in two weeks.

 Mike Sinton, Woolwich’s representative on the Bath Water District Board of Trustees, gave a report. In the past year, BWD  completed the Miller Road Project and the installation of new customer radio read meters. At the peak of last summer’s drought, the water level at Nequasset Lake dropped about 18 inches, Sinton said. Nequasset Lake is the BWD’s water source supplying Bath, Woolwich and Wiscasset customers with public drinking water.
