KMD MAIN BREAK UPDATE
We have been able to restore water service faster than expected and have restored water service to all customers on KMD with the exception of one customer with whom we are working with directly. We apologize for the inconvenience this break has caused, it's been challenging to say the least. Today's work allowed us to restore water service for now, but we still have to repair the broken water main underneath the traffic light foundation. We are in discussions with the City of Waterville and Maine DOT to identify the best long term solution. Thank you all for your patience.

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.
