Camp rebuilds on the Lyman ponds
Bunganut Lake, Kennebunk Pond and Swan Pond give Lyman a shoreline of camps steadily being winterized. A Lyman camp drive is narrow and tree-lined, so the unit sits near the town road end. Lyman shoreland rules keep the set well back from the water with the rest of the equipment. Sand over clay on the Lyman shore drains unevenly and a pad keeps the unit level. Lyman camp projects run from ice-out into October and then shut down for the winter. Septic replacement is the steadiest Lyman shoreline job, and those crews dig for days.
Town park days and summer events in Lyman
The Lyman town park on Bunganut Lake fills with swimmers and picnickers on every hot afternoon. A Lyman park set goes on the graveled lot above the beach where the truck has firm footing. Lyman recreation staff add units for the town celebration and the summer concert dates. Because the Lyman park lot fills early, deliveries happen on a weekday morning. Lyman church suppers and school fundraisers take short weekend sets on the paved lots. An extra pump follows the busiest Lyman holiday weekends.
Corridor and utility work in Lyman
Route 111 carries the commuter traffic through Lyman and gets paving, drainage and shoulder work most seasons. A Lyman roadwork unit moves along the corridor every few days with the work zone. Lyman crews need a paved pull-off wide enough for the service truck to stop safely. Utility digging in the Lyman clay leaves the crew filthy, so a handwashing station goes along. Posted weight limits on the Lyman gravel roads hold heavy deliveries until the frost is out. Once those limits lift, the Lyman back road orders all arrive in the same two weeks.
