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.
