The water company operates Evergreen Spring, which provides a sizable amount of the water used by [[Poland Spring]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Murphy&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.pressherald.com/2014/10/23/puc-approves-fryeburg-water-co-to-sell-to-nestle/|title=Maine regulators allow sale of town&#039;s water to bottler of Poland Spring|last=Murphy|first=Edward D.|date=October 23, 2014|work=[[Portland Press Herald]]|accessdate=2 November 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;WGME&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.wgme.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/fryeburg-water-company-can-enter-into-contract-sell-water-nestle-24553.shtml#.VFmIIJK9KSM|title=Fryeburg Water Company can enter into a contract to sell water to Nestle|date=24 October 2014|work=[[WGME]]|accessdate=4 November 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Controversy==<br /> The Fryeburg Water Company was ordered by the [[New Hampshire Utilities Commission]] (NHPUC) to provide the residents of [[Conway, New Hampshire|East Conway, New Hampshire]] with [[Poland Spring]] [[bottled water]] (incidentally, the water that the utility sold to the Nestlé subsidiary) until the company fixed a pipeline that brought water from the spring in [[Maine]] to the homes in [[New Hampshire]].{{CN|date=February 2016}}<br /> <br /> The Fryeburg Water Co. announced that they would fix it in the future, probably in 2008. Shortly after, they announced the sale of the pipeline to another company, which would probably not fix it until 2009 or 2010. That company has taken over the responsibility of providing water to the area&#039;s residents.<br /> <br /> In 2005, the town of Fryeburg voted to buy the Fryeburg Water Co. and establish a publicly owned water district.<br /> <br /> In 2014, the Maine Public Utilities Commission voted to allow Fryeburg to sell the town&#039;s water to Poland Spring.&lt;ref name=&quot;Murphy&quot;/&gt;&lt;ref name=Fishell&gt;{{cite web|last1=Fishell|first1=Darren|title=Nestle deal to tap Fryeburg source for bottled water approved by substitute PUC members|url=http://bangordailynews.com/2014/10/23/business/nestle-deal-to-tap-fryeburg-source-for-bottled-water-approved-by-substitute-puc-members/|publisher=The Bangor Daily News|date=23 October 2014|accessdate=30 December 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Companies based in Oxford County, Maine]]<br /> [[Category:Fryeburg, Maine]]<br /> [[Category:Water companies of the United States]]</div>
