SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — The City of South Portland announced Thursday its plans to restore the dunes at Willard Beach that were "washed out" when a major storm on Dec. 23 brought "exceptionally high tides." The city said in a news release the restoration of the dunes between Willard Street and Myrtle Avenue would "protect important public infrastructure, namely the wastewater force main that runs along the beach, in addition to providing wildlife habitat." The plan to restore the damaged dunes utilizes an approach that has been reportedly successful in other areas of the U.
