🚧 PAVING NOTICE – OLD PORTLAND ROAD

The area of Old Portland Road where the recent water main break occurred is being repaved today.

Please use caution when traveling through the area, watch for crews and equipment, and expect minor delays while the work is completed.

Thank you for your patience while we get the road back in shape!

✅ Water System Update – Mayfair Station Area

The equipment issue at the Mayfair Station pump has been repaired, and normal water pressure has been restored to the affected area.

If you continue to experience low water pressure or have no water service, please contact the Lake Arrowhead office so we can investigate your specific location.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while our crew and technician completed the repairs.

🚧 Water System Notice – Mayfair Station Area

Last night, the Mayfair Station pump experienced a malfunction due to a piece of equipment failure, resulting in a loss of water pressure for members served by that station.

A technician is scheduled to be on-site this morning to diagnose and repair the issue. We are working to restore normal water pressure as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience while these repairs are completed.

If you experienced a complete loss of water service, please let us know, as additional precautions may be necessary.

We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

✅ BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED

We are pleased to announce that the Boil Water Notice has been lifted.

The water samples collected following the water main repair have all tested clean, and, with the guidance and approval of the Maine Drinking Water Program, the boil water notice is now officially lifted.

Normal use of your water may resume immediately for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, and all other household purposes.

Brown or Discolored Water: Some members may still notice temporary brown or discolored water as a result of the recent water main repair. This is caused by naturally occurring minerals being stirred up in the water mains and is not uncommon after this type of work. If you experience discoloration, run your cold water for several minutes until it clears before doing laundry or using hot water.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout this repair and precautionary boil water notice. We would also like to thank our Public Works crew, the laboratory staff, and the Maine Drinking Water Program for their assistance in ensuring the safety of our community's drinking water.

BOIL WATER NOTICE UPDATE

The Boil Water Notice remains in effect at this time.

Water samples have been collected and submitted to the laboratory for testing. We expect to receive the results later today.

Once the results have been reviewed, we will consult with the Maine Drinking Water Program. As soon as we receive authorization, we will provide another update regarding the status of the boil water notice.

Until the notice is lifted, please continue to boil all water used for:

* Drinking
* Cooking and food preparation
* Making ice
* Brushing teeth
* Washing fruits and vegetables
* Preparing infant formula

Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute, then allow it to cool before use. Bottled water may also be used for these purposes.
