$43K Grant for
Runoff & Erosion

Water District Awarded $43K for Watershed Work

In September 2016, Boothbay Region Water District was awarded a $43,300 grant under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act to remediate runoff and erosion problems in Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake watersheds.

The grant requires a local match of 40%, so the combined federal and local project will dedicate over $70K to fixing known non-point sources of pollution to both public water supplies.

The grant project is expected to take two years to complete.

Boothbay Region Water District
Water Main Flushing Program

May 6 - June 3, 2026

The Boothbay Region Water District will be conducting water main flushing over the next four (4) weeks throughout the towns of Boothbay, East Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, and Southport Island.

This important maintenance work helps to ensure high water quality by removing sediment from the distribution system and verifying the proper operation of hydrants and valves.

Flushing will occur during both daytime and evening hours. Customers may experience temporary discoloration of water and/or a slight drop in water pressure during this time. While the water remains safe to use, residents are advised to avoid doing laundry when discoloration is present.

If you notice persistent discoloration, please run your cold water until it clears. If the issue continues, contact the Boothbay Region Water District office.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this essential system maintenance.
