The Bangor Water District was created in 1957, when the water source was changed from the Penobscot River to Floods Pond in Otis. An independent municipal district – separate from the City of Bangor and regulated by the Maine Public Utilities Commission – was established to oversee supply of water for domestic and fire-fighting purposes.

Today, Bangor Water has 10,700 metered accounts across seven communities (Bangor, Eddington, Hampden, Hermon, Orrington, small parts of Clifton and Veazie), and provides water to the Hampden Water District for distribution. Our facilities at Floods Pond pump and treat an average of 4 ½ million gallons of water each day.
