Summer weather can be tough on your lawn, especially during stretches of hot, dry days.
Watering in the early morning gives your grass time to absorb moisture before the heat of the day sets in. A consistent watering routine can help keep your yard looking its best while making the most of the water you use.
Your water, your home, and your yard all depend on reliable service. Count on KWD for the information you need.

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.
