Congratulations to our General Manager Scott Firmin on receiving the Maine Water Environment Association’s Al Jellison Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing extraordinary service and commitment to MEWEA and to protecting water quality in Maine throughout his career.

PWD assessed 6,600 feet of the Fore River wastewater force main to better understand its condition and plan ahead for future infrastructure needs. Inspect. Understand. Plan Ahead.

What does it take to keep water flowing? 💧 Sometimes, a whole lot of digging. We’re replacing aging water mains to strengthen reliability today and for the future. See where we’re working: pwd.org/water-main-replaceme… #WaterInfrastructure

⚠️ Ice Safety Alert – Sebago Lake Dangerous pressure ridge just north of Indian Island. Ridges create weak spots and sudden changes in thickness. Several are present across the lake. Use extreme caution. No ice is ever completely safe.

Rod Beaulieu, PWD Chief Security Officer, took to the sky to monitor conditions on Sebago Lake. Ice depth & quality change quickly. Check conditions, use caution, never go alone — and please pack out what you pack in. Safety matters.

Thank you to our 2025 water bottle filling station grant recipients for being strong partners in sustainability, public health, and community access. We can’t wait to see these filling stations in action.

PWD is pleased to welcome our newly elected trustees, Chris Scontras and Will Hewes, to the Portland Water District Board of Trustees. Both bring deep expertise, local commitment, and strong leadership to our Board. pwd.org/news/scontras-hewes-…
