Poland Spring Reduces Water Pumping Amid Maine's Drought
With minimal rainfall and hundreds of wells running dry, the drought is a pressing concern for many Mainers.
A viewer, Douglas, asked the CBS13 I-Team about Poland Spring's water pumping during the drought. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection requires companies with significant groundwater wells to monitor water levels and reduce or halt pumping if levels drop too low.
According to the DEP, no water bottling operations have been required to reduce or stop withdrawals during this drought. However, Poland Spring claims to have made voluntary cutbacks.
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 actions aim to address the drought concerns in Maine.
