Portland Water District

Tracking Your Water Quality Through The Water Cycle

Jeff P. Nixon Development Center

What’s really in your glass of water?Join the Portland Water District for a presentation looking at the incredible journey each drop of water takes before it reaches your tap and after it goes down your drain. We’ll explain how we ensure it stays clean and safe every step of the way.From the highlands of Bethel to the deep waters of Sebago Lake, through the Presumpscot River, and out to Casco Bay, water in Greater Portland is constantly on the move. We’ll show you how we detect even the tiniest shifts in water quality and protect the health of our communities and ecosystems.Water is constantly moving—raining from clouds, flowing through forests, streams, and rivers, and finally reaching the ocean. It then evaporates, forms clouds, and rains again, creating an endless cycle. Whether you're curious about where your water comes from and ends up, passionate about the environment, or want to know how science keeps your water safe, this presentation will leave you with a deeper appreciation for our most essential resource, water.
