Poland Spring Reduces Water Pumping Amid Maine's Drought

As Maine faces drought, with minimal rain and hundreds of dry wells, the issue is a major concern for residents.

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection requires companies with significant groundwater wells to monitor water levels and reduce or stop pumping if levels drop too low.

The DEP says it’s currently not aware of any water bottling operations that have been required to reduce or stop withdrawals during this drought.

However, Poland Spring claims to have made cutbacks on its own, despite no official requirement to do so.

In summary: Poland Spring reduces water pumping during drought.
