Maine Water Company and Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) announced today a partnership that will permanently conserve more than 250 acres of forest and open space in a key watershed area of the Saco River in western Biddeford.

In a state like Maine, it’s easy to take water for granted. Despite the planet containing a seemingly abundance of water, only about 1 percent of all the water on Earth consists of fresh water available to drink.

Maine Water employees once again came together to support our local communities with donations through food pantry donations, warm winter coats and scholarships.

A new drinking water treatment facility will ensure an adequate supply of high-quality drinking water for customers in our Kezar Falls water system well into the future.

Maine Water invested $14 million updating drinking water infrastructure in 2024 with projects in 12 communities across the state to increase service reliability, improve flow for fire protection and maintain water quality for customers.

Water service and fire protection share a long, collaborative history going back centuries and continues to this day.

With freezing temperatures setting in for another season, homeowners can take a few simple steps to prevent costly damage to water pipes caused by freezing.
