Let the Portland Water District help you fix a yard succumbing to
erosion, improve the beauty of your yard, and protect water quality.
Watershed property consultations are free to anyone with property
within 200 feet of Sebago Lake. Here's how it works.
- Contact us to schedule a consultation.
- A trained water resources specialist will visit your property and conduct a comprehensive evaluation.
- You will receive a custom report that offers specific suggestions for making your property more 'lake friendly' and design options.
- If you do decide to implement improvements, the water resources specialist can be available for technical assistance.
If you would like more information or to schedule an appointment, please
contact us.
Once you complete a watershed property consultation, you may be eligible for a
watershed stewardship grant. Recommendations provided in your consultation
report will be rated for degree of water quality concern. The level of grant
funding available for implementing a particular recommendation will depend on
this rating.

Association/municipal projects are eligible to receive a maximum of a $2,500 grant.

Installation or replacement of a subsurface wastewater disposal system (septic
system) on a property located within 200 feet of the high water mark of Sebago
Lake requires written approval of the Portland Water District (PWD). The
Portland Water District's jurisdiction also extends up some of the tributaries
to the lake (including, for example, the area around Sebago Cove in Naples and
along the Crooked River to Route 302). The approval process is based on the
Maine State Plumbing Code [CMR 144A Part 241] and, therefore, is similar to that
required by the municipality in which the property is located.
