We had a great time at the 2022 Northern Maine Children's Water Festival this week! Over 200 5th and 6th graders visited us, learning how much water on earth is available to drink, information on the water cycle, and how we use GIS technology to maintain our water systems.

Biddeford/Saco Customers: We are on site at a main break in the area of Beach Street at Main Street in Saco. This is causing low pressure in the system. Conserving water while we make repairs would be very helpful at this time. Thank you!

Silent toilet leaks can waste as much as 200 gallons of water a day --- YIKES! Good news, they're easy to find and fix! #FixALeakWeek

[MaineWater @MaineWater]

💧 Little leaks, big numbers!
Across the country our dripping faucets, running toilets and cracked pipes waste ONE TRILLION gallons of water each year. That's enough water to cover the water use of over 11 million homes! #FixALeakWeek #water #waterconservation

[MaineWater @MaineWater]

On a planet that's 71% water it can be hard to remember that fresh water can be a scarce resource! Just about 1% of Earth's water is available for drinking, bathing etc. It's @EPA #FixALeakWeek & we'll highlight how much water is lost to household leaks, how to find/fix them.

As you dig out today, please consider adopting a hydrant!

Clearing nearby fire hydrants helps our fire departments respond as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency.

[MaineWater @MaineWater]

Imagine a Day Without... your morning shower. An average showerhead uses about 2.5 gallons of water each minute.

Today, we #valuewater and everything that goes into providing clean drinking water to your home: from source, to treatment and distribution right to your tap.
