Summer in Maine means one thing for kids: finding every possible way to get soaked.
Slip 'N Slides, sprinklers, water balloons, squirt guns, backyard splash zones, if it involves water, chances are it's happening this week. As temperatures climb, we're proud to provide the safe, reliable water that helps fuel summer fun and proper hydration across our communities.

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.

Water helps your body keep its cool, stay energized, and handle all the extra time spent outdoors in the heat. The easiest trick is simple, keep a reusable bottle close and take a few sips often instead of waiting until you feel thirsty.
Cold tap water is one of the most refreshing, and sustainable ways to stay ahead of the heat, especially during long days in the sun, on the job, or out enjoying everything summer brings.
