When the weather starts cooling down, it’s time to put a pot of soup on the stove.
Grab some carrots, potatoes, onions, celery and your favorite veggies, add 8 cups of tap water, season it up, and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender. About 30 minutes later, you’ve got a steaming pot of homemade comfort food, ready for a bowl, a spoon, and maybe a hunk of some good ol' sourdough bread.

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.

Ever notice water pouring out of a hydrant and wonder what’s going on? KWD regularly opens hydrants as part of routine maintenance, flushing sediment from water mains and helping keep the distribution system in good shape.
With more than 600 hydrants throughout KWD’s service area, keeping them maintained is a pretty big job. So the next time you see one flowing, you’re getting a glimpse of some of the work that happens behind the scenes to keep your water system running.
