Poland Spring Reduces Water Pumping Amid Maine's Drought
Maine is experiencing a severe drought, with minimal rainfall and hundreds of wells running dry.
According to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, companies with significant groundwater wells must monitor water levels and reduce or halt pumping if levels drop too low.
Although the DEP is not aware of any water bottling operations required to reduce or stop withdrawals, Poland Spring has taken initiative to reduce its water pumping.
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 voluntary reduction aims to mitigate the effects of the drought.
