Today, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice made possible the freedoms we enjoy every day, and their courage will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors this Memorial Day, we also take time to reflect with gratitude on those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

From all of us at Bangor Borough, we thank our fallen heroes whose legacies continue to shape our community today.

Double check your in-person polling places - as many - including some in Bangor, have changed.

If your water is discolored, run the cold water taps only, at the lowest level of the house for about 3 to 5 minutes until the water runs clear. If discolored water occurs please also refrain from doing laundry during that time. In keeping with American Water’s focus on safety for both customers and employees, please do not approach our crews while they work.
