Point Sebago Resort, Casco, ME
50,000 gpd, primary effluent discharge
For more than 60 years, Point Sebago Resort has anchored Maine’s Lakes Region with campsites, water activities, and a golf course. Upon a transfer of ownership, the resort upgraded on-site wastewater in phases to maintain operations. In 2022, a 20,000 gpd Perc-Rite® Drip Dispersal system was installed to handle a portion of flows while additional site analysis proceeded. In 2025, infrastructure for a 45,000 gpd Perc-Rite® system was put in place, activating four quarter-acre drip zones (≈50% of design flow) and tying into centralized pumps/controls. Four additional zones will be added in Spring 2026 to fulfill full site requirements and support year-round operation. By phasing remote drip zones, the resort kept all campsites open during upgrades—demonstrating Perc-Rite®’s flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency on a complex, occupied site.
Structured version
Challenge
Iconic Point Sebago Resort (Lakes Region, ME) needed a comprehensive wastewater upgrade at ownership transition—without closing campsites or disrupting peak-season amenities.
Phase 1 – 2022
Install a 20,000 gpd Perc-Rite® Drip Dispersal system to accommodate a percentage of flows while broader site analysis and long-term design proceeded.
Phase 2 – 2025
Construct infrastructure for a 45,000 gpd Perc-Rite® system and activate four quarter-acre drip zones representing roughly half of the design flow, integrated with centralized pumps and controls to streamline future expansion.
Phase 3 – Spring 2026 (planned)
Add four additional drip zones to complete the design capacity and provide a year-round wastewater solution as the resort explores expanded operations.
Result
A scalable, phased wastewater program that leveraged remote drip zones to maintain full campsite availability during construction, minimized disruptions, and delivered a cost-effective, efficient upgrade. The project highlights how Perc-Rite® Drip Dispersal enables staged implementation for complex, heavily used recreational properties.
