**UPDATE**Water has been restored to the area as of 3:45pm
We have a water main break on Violette Avenue in Waterville. Customers on Violette Avenue from Cool Street to Brigham Street will be impacted. Violette Avenue from Cool Street to Fairview is closed.
The repair may take several hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
When normal water service is restored, customers may experience discoloration and/or air in their lines. Flushing water through an outside hose spigot or a bathtub faucet (cold water side) will help to clear the lines.
Please contact our office at (207) 872-2763 if you have any questions.

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.

Before you close-up and lock the camp door for the season, give the water one last look.
Shut off the water supply if appropriate, drain or winterize the plumbing, check for leaks, and make sure you know where the main water shutoff is. And before freezing temperatures arrive, disconnect those outdoor hoses.
A few minutes now can save you from opening the camp next spring to a very unwelcome surprise.
Close it up. Shut it down. Then head home.
