Keep your lawn lush and green this summer!
Did you know that early morning is the best time to water your lawn? It allows the water to soak in before the sun evaporates it. Keep your yard beautiful with a healthy watering routine.
For the best results, aim for deep, infrequent watering rather than light daily sprinkling. This helps grass roots grow deeper and stronger, making your lawn more resilient during dry stretches.
*Soil type, grass species, and weather matter. Sandy soil drains faster and may need more frequent watering, while clay holds moisture longer. And during extreme heat waves, even a “deep watering” routine might need adjustment.

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.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads and father figures who put in the work long before the day begins and keep going long after it ends.
It’s the everyday stuff that adds up. Showing up. Helping where it’s needed. Passing along what they know without making a big deal out of it. That kind of steady presence is what sticks with families and communities.
Today, we recognize the men whose hard work, dependability, and care make a difference every day. From all of us at Kennebec Water District, Happy Father’s Day.
