SEACOAST ONLINE • January 27, 2022

Kittery Water District users concerned about the future of the district's drinking water and land have called for the quasi-municipal district to place it’s 2,500 acres of watershed in a conservation easement. A special meeting of the water district was held Wednesday night in response to a petition which claimed that the district could be consolidated with other public water utilities that use chloramines to disinfect water. The Kittery Water District has affirmed it would not use chloramines nor merge with other water companies. John Perry, president of the district’s board of trustees, stated the discussion surrounding the worry of chloramines being used to treat district water is “beating a dead horse.”
