As Maine's largest generator of renewable energy, Brookfield Renewable is a proud owner and operator of 11 hydro facilities within the Kennebec watershed.  Its facilities, spanning from Rockwood to Waterville, have adapted over time to meet today's safety standards and are a key component in stabilized river flows, climate resiliency, and renewable energy generation. Communities have long thrived around these dams, serving as a vital cultural, economic, and recreational resource for the people of the Kennebec region.

By providing hundreds of seasonal recreational flows that bring anglers, rafters, and private boaters to the upper Kennebec, Brookfield's hydro facilities are integral to the region's tourism and recreation economy. The Harris station averages more than 40,000 recreation-goers annually. Overall, Brookfield has more than 65 recreation areas within the Kennebec region, including boat launches, campsites, angling trails, and fishing areas.

We are proudly one of the region's top taxpayers contributing $5.6 million within the Kennebec region. Over the next five years, we plan to invest nearly $50 million in capital improvements at our Kennebec facilities that include support from many local contractors and businesses.

The Kennebec Water District (KWD) was founded in 1899. KWD is a quasi-municipal corporation providing potable water to the communities of Waterville, Winslow, Fairfield, Benton, and Vassalboro. KWD also wholesales water to the Maine Water Company, Oakland Maine Division. KWD uses China Lake as its sole source of supply. 

An elected board of ten trustees governs KWD. The total organizational structure consists of 28 employees. KWD supplies more than three million gallons of potable water each day to more than 9,000 customers through a network of more than 150 miles of distribution piping. 

Water supplied by KWD meets the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Maine Drinking Water Program.  As a public utility, KWD must meet the financial regulatory requirements of the Maine Public Utilities Commission.
