*** TRAFFIC ALERT - WEST RIVER ROAD WATERVILLE ***
Starting next Monday, April 6th, KWD will begin a high priority water main replacement project on West River Road between Franklin Street & John Avenue. In an effort to provide safe working conditions for the construction team and increase construction efficiency, West River Road will be closed to southbound (outbound) traffic from Kennedy Memorial Drive to Louise Avenue. All southbound traffic on West River Road from Kennedy Memorial Drive will be detoured to Carter Memorial Drive to Abenaki Road and back to West River Road. Northbound (inbound) traffic on West River Road will remain open.
This traffic modification will remain in place until the work is completed in mid-May. We appreciate your understanding and safe driving as we undergo this critical infrastructure project.
First Water District in the United States

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.

Once spring shows up, water starts becoming a major part of everything again. Washing away the mud, cleaning up outside, getting gardens started, and tackling all the little jobs that come with the season.
It’s one of those things you use every day without thinking much about it, until this time of year rolls around and reminds you just how much it’s part of daily life.
