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.

KWD in partnership with Nitram Excavation is nearing the completion of Phase 2 of the Pleasant Street Area Water Main Improvements Project on Pleasant Street in Waterville. Customers on Pleasant Street from Main Street to Park Street are now being provided water from the new 12-inch water main. Pavement restoration will be completed on Pleasant Street from North Street to Park Street on or around July 17th. Upon completion of the pavement restoration, Pleasant Street between North Street and Park Street will be reopened to two-way traffic.
On or around July 18th, Phase 3 traffic control will reduce traffic flow on Pleasant Street from Park Street to Western Avenue to one-way southbound traffic only. Traffic will not be allowed to enter Pleasant Street from Western Avenue. Motorists looking to travel north on Pleasant Street are asked to use Elm Street and Park Street to bypass the work zone. The Phase 3 work is expected to be completed by the end of August, at which time Pleasant Street will be fully opened to northbound and southbound traffic.
Once work on Pleasant Street is completed, Center Street and Pleasant Place will be next!
