7/31/26 SBWD DROUGHT UPDATE- VOLUNTARY CONSERVATION
PLEASE CONTINUE TO CONSERVE WATER WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

South Berwick has been in official Drought since August 2025.
Information released by the US Drought Monitor on July 30th details that 45% of Maine remains in Drought, however, recent rainfall has helped move southern Maine into Moderate Drought status with drought removal possible later in the year. Please remember that it will take additional time for groundwater levels to recover fully.

7/13/26 SBWD DROUGHT REMINDER
PLEASE CONTINUE TO CONSERVE WATER WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
South Berwick has been in official Drought since August 2025 (47 Wks).

With the current heat wave bearing down on us, SB Water District would like to remind our customers that we remain in a Drought and continue to ask for Voluntary Water Conservation, even with a wet June. NOAA believes that there will be some improvement in the coming months but it will take additional time for groundwater levels to recovery fully.

Update on Main and Webster Valve Repair
6/12/26 10:20 AM

The water should be back on at all the services locations. Please flush as needed.

It should take a few hours to fill in the hole and complete street repairs. We will work with the state to get the road repaved in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Update Main and Webster Valve Repair

We unfortunately need to temporarily shut down more services up to #429 Main Street due to the water main break to allow replacement of bolts on the valve. This will start immediately and should not last as long as the main break. We will keep you informed.

Update Main and Webster Valve Repair

Please expect the road to be shut down at least partially at the intersection of Main and Webster starting immediately, to repair a valve leak. It is still hoped we can repair the valve without shutting down water but it's not guaranteed. Thank you for your patience in these unavoidable situations.

Second Main Brake-Main and Webster
Besides the valve needing repair tomorrow morning a second main brake opened up about 10 feet up Main street from the first repair. Water is off again for the same people as the crew digs to repair the second leak. Probably about the same timing as the last repair.
Will keep all informed.
