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.

The Kennebec Water District (KWD) was founded in 1899, and is a quasi-municipal corporation serving municipalities in both Kennebec and Somerset Counties.
As the weather continues to warm, we are entering Maine's favorite season - Construction Season!
KWD has once again partnered with Ranger Contracting for an important water main replacement project. Starting Monday (4/12), we will start replacing the 1905 water main buried along Benton Avenue in Winslow. Construction will start at the intersection of Clinton Ave/Bridge Street. The project is anticipated to be finished by the end of August.
Ranger Construction will also be replacing sewer and storm drain pipes for the Town of Winslow in the same stretch of road this summer.
Ranger Construction, under a separate contract, will also be replacing sewer and storm drain pipes for the Town of Winslow in the same stretch of road.
Sorry for any inconvenience this project might cause.
