缅因州干旱造成水井失灵;波兰之春自愿削减用水量,尽管没有授权。 Maine's drought causes well failures; Poland Spring voluntarily cuts water use despite no mandate.

缅因州正面临严重干旱,数百口水井干涸,降雨量有限,引起对用水的担忧。 Maine is facing a severe drought with hundreds of wells running dry and limited rainfall, prompting concerns over water use. 虽然该州的DEP要求大型地下水用户监测水位,必要时减少抽水量,但并未授权任何装瓶作业削减。 While the state’s DEP requires large groundwater users to monitor levels and reduce pumping if needed, it has not mandated any bottling operations to cut back. 然而,自9月1日以来,波兰之春自愿减少了在Hollis和Fryeburg等地点的抽水量,并列举了负责任的管理和长期可持续性。 However, Poland Spring has voluntarily reduced water withdrawals since September 1 at sites including Hollis and Fryeburg, citing responsible management and long-term sustainability. 该公司每天监测含水层水平,并向DEP报告数据,但没有正式确认抽水量减少。 The company monitors aquifer levels daily and reports data to the DEP, though no official confirmation of reduced pumping has been provided. 在持续干旱条件下,环境团体和居民继续呼吁提高透明度和开展保护工作。 Environmental groups and residents continue to call for greater transparency and conservation efforts amid ongoing dry conditions.
