Save our H2O ("SOHO" or "SOH2O" for short) is a newly formed group of residents in the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells Water District.  We are an independent grassroots organization, unaffilated with Defending Water for Life in Maine or the Alliance for Democracy.

Our group's goal is to protect the water in our district and prevent the Water District's Board of Trustees from signing a 30-year contract to sell local spring water to Nestlé Waters North America to be bottled by their brand, Poland Spring.
