How Sebago Lake Became Portland’s Greatest Asset
by Barbara J. Brewer
Have you ever turned on the faucet and contemplated the history of public water service? Are you thinking about it now as you read this question? If you’ve even been curious about when, where, and how Portland’s public water service was conceived, implemented, and maintained, or even if you just enjoy local history, this book hopes to provide some basic (and some not so basic) information on how the Portland public water works was formed and how Sebago Lake became its greatest asset.
