			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong>What your neighbors are doing to help Casco Bay</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Should you see hordes of young people armed with spray paint roaming your neighborhood, don’t be concerned. The only thing they will be spraying will be storm drains. On May 24<sup>th</sup>  (rain date, May 31<sup>st</sup> ), volunteers from Greely High School, the Town of Cumberland’s Shellfish Conservation Commission, and Public Works Department will be stenciling storm drains on Route 88 in Cumberland Foreside to spread the message, “Do not dump/Drains to Casco Bay.” Their purpose is to remind neighbors to keep pollution out of our coastal waters.  </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Rainwater runoff—and the pollutants it carries—is the Number <strong>1 </strong>source of water pollution to lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, resulting in slime-covered coves, fish kills, and prolonged red tides. Runoff from rain and snow melt can carry oil, litter, leaves, grass clippings, pesticides, and sediments from construction sites into storm drains, and in turn, into local bodies of water. Some residents don’t realize that dumping engine oil, paint, cigarette butts, or pet waste into storm drains results in water pollution that could affect their drinking water supply, shellfish flats and fishing holes, or swimming beaches. Nothing should go down a storm drain but rain!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The stenciling kits are on loan from Friends of Casco Bay, as part of its efforts to educate the community about the effects of stormwater pollution. Since 1989, Friends of Casco Bay/</span>Casco<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">BAYKEEPER<span style="font-size: small;">® has been working to improve and protect the environmental health of Casco Bay through advocacy, education, collaborative partnerships, water quality monitoring, and other scientific research.  For more information, visit </span></span><a title="http://www.cascobay.org/" href="http://www.cascobay.org/"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">www.cascobay.org</span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"> or contact </span>Brenda Moore at Town Hall </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">(207-829-2205) or <a href="mailto:bmoore@cumberlandmaine.com">bmoore@cumberlandmaine.com</a> .</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The installation of smart meters in Cumberland is now effectively complete.</p>
<p>Later this year, CMP’s customers will be able to view detailed information about their energy usage through the Company’s website.</p>
<p>The installation of smart meters is part of CMP’s plan to build a stronger, smarter grid for Maine. In 2011, CMP invested more than $500 million in Advanced Meter Infrastructure and other grid improvements, and they will spend nearly as much again in 2012.  These investments are creating thousands of jobs for the Maine economy, while ensuring long-term grid reliability and capacity for growth.</p>
<p>On behalf of Central Maine Power, we want to thank municipal officials for providing a forum for us to interact with your residents and businesses and for being a conduit for getting information out and sharing residents’ concerns with us. Your involvement has provided an important public service by allowing an open and transparent way to share information.</p>
<p>If residents are looking for additional information about smart meters, please encourage them to visit CMP’s web site at  <a title="blocked::http://www.cmpco.com/smartmeter" href="http://www.cmpco.com/smartmeter">www.cmpco.com/smartmeter</a></p>
