Our $8.6 million treatment plant upgrade is moving forward, bringing important improvements that will help reduce PFAS in drinking water and support long-term water quality across the region.
This project is all about protecting public health and ensuring dependable, high-quality water for the people and communities we serve.

Our Source Water
The Kennebec Water District has used China Lake as its source of supply since 1905. China lake, covering an area of 6.1 square miles and a maximum depth of 85 feet, holds about 31.7 billion gallons of fresh water at any given time and provides more than enough capacity year around. The intake is in the West Basin of the lake which is largely undeveloped due to the Kennebec Water District’s management of these lands for over 100 years. Click below to find out more.
