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.

Storm outside. Warmth inside. Make a Nor’easter Mocktail.
2 oz brewed black tea, chilled (for depth and body)
½ oz fresh lime juice
½ oz pure maple syrup
Ginger beer
Small splash of water
Add the tea, lime, maple syrup, and water to a shaker with ice. Shake well, strain into a glass over fresh ice, and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wedge.
It’s built for the cold, even if you're not. Maple brings a cozy richness, the tea adds that subtle oak-like depth you’d expect from a darker spirit, and ginger beer delivers a bright kick that cuts cleanly through winter.
Pro tip: Don’t skip the splash of water. Just like with a spirit-forward drink, a little dilution softens the edges and helps the maple and tea flavors open up, making the whole mocktail feel smoother and more balanced.
