access gates for pedestrians and vehicles in various locations on the <strong>Airport</strong>. Automated motorized<br />
sliding gates are located next to the terminal building and near the former terminal building (now the bus<br />
station). The automated gates are activated by electronic card readers. Away from the Terminal and<br />
adjacent tenants, all access gates for the perimeter fence are manually operated. Gate widths vary from<br />
four feet wide for man-way or personnel access up to 20 feet for vehicle access. Vehicle gates are either<br />
single or double-leaf swing type fixtures, or slide-operated. Manway gates are configured with swing<br />
hinges, single-leaf with latch. Latches are secured with a chain and padlock, or keypad control. These<br />
gates are used for emergency vehicle access by <strong>City</strong> police and fire, and for normal access by the <strong>Airport</strong><br />
and pilots.<br />
<strong>Airport</strong> SRE & Maintenance Equipment<br />
The <strong>Airport</strong> has a fleet <strong>of</strong> snow removal equipment (SRE) and other maintenance equipment. Specific<br />
equipment, age and condition were not available at the time <strong>of</strong> the inventory.<br />
<strong>Airport</strong> Access<br />
Convenient automobile access to the <strong>Waterville</strong> LaFleur <strong>Airport</strong> is available from both Interstate 95 and<br />
the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Waterville</strong>’s business district. Kennedy Memorial Drive is a four-lane commercial highway<br />
that connects the <strong>City</strong> center to the interstate; <strong>Airport</strong> Road connects to Kennedy Memorial Drive less<br />
than one-half mile from Interstate 95. The <strong>Airport</strong> terminal building is located approximately one mile<br />
from Kennedy Memorial Drive at the end <strong>of</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> Road, which is a two-lane paved road in excellent<br />
condition. From <strong>Airport</strong> Road, the entrance roadway provides vehicular access to the Terminal, auto<br />
parking, hangar, aircraft services and the tenants.<br />
Automobile Parking<br />
The <strong>Airport</strong> has 16 designated vehicle<br />
parking spaces plus one handicapped<br />
parking space located on the west side<br />
<strong>of</strong> the terminal hangar. The parking<br />
lot pavement is in good condition.<br />
Minor cracking exists in the parking<br />
lot, but many <strong>of</strong> these cracks have<br />
been sealed. There is some evidence<br />
<strong>of</strong> “ponding”; potholes have been<br />
created from standing water. There is<br />
currently no distinction between short<br />
and long term parking. No fees are<br />
presently collected for airport parking.<br />

Utilities<br />
Utilities for the <strong>Airport</strong> facilities include <strong>City</strong> sewer and water that serves the former terminal building<br />
from <strong>Airport</strong> Road. Electrical service is provided to the former terminal, the airfield electrical vault, the<br />
present terminal building and to most other hangars and buildings on the airfield by Central Maine Power<br />
Company from overhead service that comes in along <strong>Airport</strong> Road. Telephone service to the former and<br />
present terminal building is provided by Verizon Communications.<br />
A water well and sanitary septic system serves the present day terminal building.<br />
