Poland Springs has many sites in Maine. The Hollis source is about 15 miles from where we live. Route 112 runs by our home and each day 500 tractor trailers run from the MTA to Hollis and back filled with bottled water. Fryeburg has a similar facility and there are several others throughout the State.
That’s a lot of water being extracted and I’m not aware Maine is getting much in return.
