The East End Treatment Plant is a water-treatment facility located in Portland, Maine, United States. At an average daily output of almost 20 million gallons, it is the largest treatment facility in the state. In operation since 1979, and run by Portland Water District, the plant sits at the opposite end of Tukey's Bridge from the former B&M Baked Beans factory. In addition to producing clean water, which flows into nearby Casco Bay, the facility also created hundreds of tons of treated biosolids. Around four million tons of septage from private septic systems in Maine's cities and towns are sent to the facility each year. The plant prevents around 9,000,000 pounds (4,100,000 kg) of pollution from entering Casco Bay on an annual basis.In 2018, the plant received a $12 million upgrade. In the summer of that year, over one million gallons of partially treated sewage was released into Casco Bay after a disinfection tank was not powered on after being cleaned. A second tank was overwhelmed by high rainfall. The plant was fined $16,800 by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The penalty was used to pay for restoration work at the city's Evergreen Cemetery.Another discharge occurred in July 2020, when nearly four million gallons of partially treated sewage was released into Casco Bay after a power failure at the plant. East End Beach, which was given a rebirth shortly after the plant came online in 1979, was temporarily closed.

Jack Elementary School was a public elementary school located in the Munjoy Hill neighborhood of Portland, Maine. Jack Elementary was Portland's largest school until the time of its closure. The school made headlines when 100% of the teachers, administrators and other employees of the school reported symptoms related to mold poisoning from Stachybotrys chartarum. The mold can cause symptoms that are flu-like down up to pulmonary hemorrhage. The school was closed in 2001 and then later torn down as a result of the mold contamination. Students from the school were reassigned to three other schools within the city. A new school on, named East End Community School was opened in 2006. In its prime, the school was an impressive building. There were huge hallways with massive solid wood doors opening into large-size classrooms with high ceilings. The playground behind the school was built in the late 1980s by a cooperative effort involving contractors, school faculty and students, as well as members of the community who brought their own tools and donated their time. The new playground was said to be the largest and most modern playground in the city school system when it was finished. This school was originally built and known as Jack Junior High School for grade 7 and 8 students from the Munjoy Hill neighborhood, fed from Emerson School on Emerson St. and North School on Congress St (both now converted to housing).

The Back Cove South Storage Facility will be the result of a large construction project begun in 2020 in the Back Cove neighborhood of Portland, Maine. Centered on Back Cove Park, between Preble Street to the southwest, Franklin Street to the northeast and Interstate 295 to the southeast, the project—a combined sewer and stormwater overflow (or CSO)—is estimated to cost $40 million, and is the city's largest such project to date. It is designed to reduce combined sewage overflow into both Back Cove and Portland's harbor by 40%. Currently, after heavy rainfall, storm water mixes with sewage and discharges into Casco Bay. Four concrete tanks, with a total capacity of 3.5 million gallons, will be installed below ground. The soil removed from Back Cove Park will be used to raise the area's elevation, and the soccer fields and access to the Back Cove Trail—which were both demolished as part of the construction—will be restored. The Back Cove West Storage Conduit, which was installed beside Baxter Boulevard on the western side of Back Cove, was also part of the project, which is being undertaken by Sargent. The final piece of box conduit was installed in October 2022. The South Storage Facility is Portland's third storage conduit installed at Back Cove. In 2013, the city had built two conduits, each capable of capturing one million gallons of sewer and stormwater to prevent overflow from entering the cove. These were installed in Payson Park and under Baxter Boulevard. A fourth project, to include a 2.25-million-gallon storage conduit is also planned.
