Ahhh, the fresh, crisp feeling of autumn. As great as it is, it also means flu season is back. With busy days, the kiddos being back in school, and changing temperatures, it’s easy to overlook one of the simplest things your body needs in this time of need: water.
Staying hydrated helps support normal circulation, digestion, and other everyday functions. Keep water nearby throughout the day and make it your go-to drink when you’re thirsty.
Luckily, you don’t have to go far for a good glass of water.

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.

Today, the Maine Forest Service visited a recently harvested area of KWD-owned land on the South Peninsula of China Lake as part of a field learning opportunity. The site showcases sustainable forest management practices designed to create a healthy, diverse forest with a mix of tree species and age classes. This thoughtful approach to forest management, helps protect the water quality of China Lake while promoting long-term forest health and resilience. By investing in responsible stewardship today, KWD is helping ensure clean, reliable drinking water and a thriving watershed for generations to come.
