BATH WATER DISTRICT

In October 1915, the Maine Legislature created the Bath Water District (BWD) to replace the Bath Water Company, which had provided drinking water to the region since 1887. BWD was established as a quasi-municipal organization under the direct ownership of its customers, separate from the City of Bath. Customers wanted a district because it allowed several municipalities to be serviced by one organization. Water districts have many of the same characteristics of local governments, but differ in that they do not collect property taxes and are regulated by the Maine Public Utilities Commission...
