We think about your water so you don’t have to.
You probably don’t give much thought to your drinking water. You assume when you turn on the tap that your water is clean and safe to drink. The Boothbay Region Water District works every day to acquire, treat, and distribute clean drinking water to the residents of Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, and Southport. It’s important to us to ensure that we care for the watershed that feeds into our water resources, to ensure a continuous supply of clean drinking water for future generations.
Our mission is “To provide an adequate supply of safe public water for use by the inhabitants of the Boothbay Region.”
Our customers are local residents who care about the land around them and preserving the natural resources of the Boothbay Region. We know they place great value in the effort to protect its beauty. So we make it our mission to provide safe public water for use by the inhabitants of the Boothbay Region while protecting the integrity of the land.
- We serve 3,300 customers and three municipalities with over 200 million gallons of drinking water to the people and businesses of Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor and Southport, Maine.
- We actively protect the watershed area of Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake. By preserving the natural environments and areas around these bodies of water, we limit the effects human development can have on the watershed and subsequent degradation of water quality.
- We follow strict water quality and withdrawal reporting guidelines to keep the public informed and follow Maine’s Natural Resources Protection Act. We were granted a Water Quality Award for the best tasting water for the disinfected water district category.
- Weekly water reports publicly display how much water was pulled from Knickerbocker Lake.
