Poland Spring Reduces Water Pumping During Maine's Drought
Maine is experiencing a severe drought, with minimal rainfall and hundreds of wells running dry, making it a top concern for many residents.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection requires companies with significant groundwater wells to monitor water levels and reduce or halt pumping if levels drop too low.
Although the DEP is not aware of any water bottling operations being forced to reduce or stop withdrawals, Poland Spring has voluntarily made cutbacks.
Poland Spring says it implemented a "significant" reduction in withdrawals at their clear spring site in Hollis, along with cutbacks in Fryeburg and other locations across Maine, as of September 1.
The company's efforts aim to mitigate the effects of the drought on the state's water resources.
