SUMMARY:Every Drop Counts
DESCRIPTION:Tracking Your Water Quality Through The Water Cycle\n\n\n\n\nA public presentation by Paul Hunt\, Environmental Services Manager \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s really in your glass of water? \n\n\n\nJoin the Portland Water District for a presentation looking at the incredible journey each drop of water takes before it reaches your tap and after it goes down your drain. We’ll explain how we ensure it stays clean and safe every step of the way. \n\n\n\nFrom the highlands of Bethel to the deep waters of Sebago Lake\, through the Presumpscot River\, and out to Casco Bay\, water in Greater Portland is constantly on the move. We’ll show you how we detect even the tiniest shifts in water quality and protect the health of our communities and ecosystems. \n\n\n\nWater is constantly moving—raining from clouds\, flowing through forests\, streams\, and rivers\, and finally reaching the ocean. It then evaporates\, forms clouds\, and rains again\, creating an endless cycle. Whether you’re curious about where your water comes from and ends up\, passionate about the environment\, or want to know how science keeps your water safe\, this presentation will leave you with a deeper appreciation for our most essential resource\, water.

SUMMARY:1\,200 Miles of Pipe
DESCRIPTION:A deep dive into the making of greater Portland’s public water system\n\n\n\n\nA public presentation by Paul Hunt\, Environmental Services Manager \n\n\n\n\nThe Portland Water District (PWD) is a century-old company\, rich in history and experience. In 1862\, visionary citizens recognized a growing need for reliable water and founded the Portland Water Company and by 1869\, Sebago Lake’s water flowed into Portland. Early water was not without challenges or controversy and in 1908\, the Portland Water District was formed to assume the private company. As Greater Portland transformed into an industrial powerhouse\, public water service expanded\, and water and wastewater treatment facilities were built to meet rising demands and regulations. Over a century\, innovative upgrades and rigorous environmental standards ensured a steady supply of pure\, safe water and environmental stewardship.

SUMMARY:1\,200 Miles of Pipe
DESCRIPTION:A deep dive into the making of greater Portland’s public water system\n\n\n\n\nA public presentation by Paul Hunt\, Environmental Services Manager \n\n\n\n\nThe Portland Water District (PWD) is a century-old company\, rich in history and experience. In 1862\, visionary citizens recognized a growing need for reliable water and founded the Portland Water Company and by 1869\, Sebago Lake’s water flowed into Portland. Early water was not without challenges or controversy and in 1908\, the Portland Water District was formed to assume the private company. As Greater Portland transformed into an industrial powerhouse\, public water service expanded\, and water and wastewater treatment facilities were built to meet rising demands and regulations. Over a century\, innovative upgrades and rigorous environmental standards ensured a steady supply of pure\, safe water and environmental stewardship. Today\, we celebrate a legacy of progress\, community\, and pride in water services. \n\n\n\n\nLight refreshments will be served.\n\n\n\nEach attendee’s name will be put into a drawing to win the book\, “Drink It In\, How Sebago Lake Became Portland’s Greatest Asset” by Barbara J. Brewer (a former PWD employee and historian).
