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.

Over the past week, staff and contractors at the Kennebec Water District’s water treatment plant have been working diligently to remove and replace the filtration media in two of the six on-site filter units. The new filtration media has been shown to be effective at removing PFAS compounds in a variety of different applications. As part of a study, funded by the Maine Drinking Water Program and in conjunction with the engineering firm CDM Smith, KWD is trialing this media in a novel format in a search to find the most cost effective, long-term solution to treating PFAS compounds found in our source of supply.

This trial will be a year-long endeavor consisting of sampling and reviewing water quality trends, monitoring the state of the filtration media throughout time, and observing how the water treatment plant operates under a variety of conditions.
