RUMFORD WATER DISTRICT

In the early 1900's, there were three existing water systems operating in the town. They were, Rumford Falls Light and Water Company, Union Construction Company and the Virginia Spring Water Company. During this time, the town was expanding rapidly and the three systems could not keep up with the demand for water. The Rumford Falls Light and Water Company commissioned the majority of the water distribution system construction. The Water Company's piping infrastructure continued to grow each year. Records show hundreds of feet of main extensions occurred yearly during this period of 1892 to 1911. In March of 1911, town officials organized and appointed a Water District Board of Trustees. By September of that year, the Rumford and Mexico Water District was chartered by the Maine State Legislature. Your water system has continued to grow and expand over the last 106 years under the auspices of the Rumford Water District
