To: YWD/KWD Watershed ATV Permit Holders
Subject: Reckless ATV Operation on Water District Property
The York and Kittery Water Districts have identified an increase in dangerous and reckless operation of ATVs on our watershed properties.
Documented activities observed recently:
- Fishtailing
- Off Trail Riding
- Spinning/Donuts
- Operating Under the Influence
- Speeding, and more
 |
 |
In addition to the safety risk, damage to management roads, trails, and landings create additional soil erosion, water quality deterioration, and financial burden for both Districts.
If these actions continue, the Districts will be forced to consider enforcement action including, but not limited to ATV permit suspension, size/power restrictions, night or seasonal closures, and trail closure.
Use of the YWD/KWD watershed trails is permitted for the enjoyment of all, and responsible use is critical to keep this area open now and into the future. If you see something, say something.
