Road Commissioner
The Road Commissioner is responsible for reporting and overseeing issues with locally owned roads by the Town of Gouldsboro. This does not include private roads, driveways, or State owned public ways. Heavy loads operating on town roads fall under the Road Commissioner.
Heavy Loads and Local Roads in Maine fall under authority of 29-A MRSA, Section 2395, all public roads may be temporarily posted to prevent abuse by heavy vehicles. The statute states that all municipal officers (not officials), the MDOT, and county commissioners “may adopt such rules to ensure proper use and prevent abuse of the public ways … whenever those ways require special protection”. Typically, these conditions are present during freeze/thaw periods or storm damage. Roads affected will be clearly marked.
Town Infrastructure
The Supervisor of Town Infrastructure is responsible for the daily operation, maintenance, and landscaping of all town owned and maintained properties. Some of these properties include, but are not limited to the former DOT Lot on Rt. 1, Jones Pond Recreation Area, town office, fire department buildings, and park facilities.
For any Plumbing inquires, please call our interim LPI Millard Billings at (207) 812-2383.
