Boothbay Region Water District supplies water to the Boothbay peninsula from two open-source water supplies: Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake. As is common in New England, the roads surrounding Adams Pond are very close to the water supply, often less than 10 feet. To reduce non-point source pollution, the water district moved 1000’ linear feet of road frontage on Adams Pond and added nearly one acre of vegetated buffer in 2025. Learn about the process, successes, lessons learned, funding and the partnerships that made this project possible.
