Maine is fortunate to have an abundant supply of the world’s next likely endangered resource – clean, drinkable water. Made in Maine visits the Hatch family of Nobleboro, where the family business for over a half-century has been drilling for water. Once water is reached, a pump is required to get it out of the ground, and that’s where Bison Pumps of Houlton enters the picture with pumps that are a throwback to an earlier technology, but with an interesting twist. By contrast, no drills or pumps at all are necessary at Summit Springs in the town of Harrison, where they bottle and sell water that comes bubbling right up out of the ground.
