MAINE PUBLIC • May 10, 2023
Maine’s drinking water is known for being among the cleanest in the country—and much of that is due to natural filtration from our state’s healthy forests and watersheds. We’ll learn about the sources of drinking water statewide, how it’s processed, and how it can be protected. We’ll also discuss challenges, from PFAS to aging structures, that threaten water quality in Maine. Panelists: Paul Thomas Hunt, Portland Water District; Amy Lachance, Drinking Water Program, Maine CDC; Brian Tarbuck, Greater Augusta Utility District. VIP Callers: Karen Young, Sebago Clean Waters; Rob Tod, Allagash Brewing.
