We’re proud to share some great news from Washington, D.C. —
This recognition reflects the care and commitment that go into our water every single day. From routine testing to careful treatment and maintenance, our team works behind the scenes to make sure the water you turn on at home is safe, reliable, and — now on a national scale — officially award-winning.
While accepting the award, our team took a moment to recognize the people who make it all happen:
“I’d like to thank John and Aaron. They both work in the plant and they do a good job taking care of our water.”
That shout-out goes to John Orne, Chief Treatment Plant Operator, and Aaron Durgan, Treatment Plant Operator — along with the entire BRWD team who help keep things flowing smoothly.
Of course, great water doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of strong infrastructure, dedicated professionals, and a community that values clean, protected water sources. This national recognition belongs to all of us.
So next time you pour a glass from the tap, take a moment to enjoy it — you’re drinking some of the best water in the country. Not bad for a small coastal community.
Congratulations to our team, and thank you to our customers for your continued trust and support.
Award-winning water starts long before it reaches your tap. At BRWD, protecting our water sources and maintaining high treatment standards is part of our daily mission.
We proudly serve more than 3,300 customers across Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, and Southport while actively protecting the watershed areas around Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake. Through careful monitoring, transparent reporting, and environmental stewardship, we work to preserve the natural resources that make our region special.
