In Kennebunkport on a sultry July day, summer visitors and locals crowded the town house to decide the Mousam Water Co proposal. After heated debate and a vote outdoors due to space limits, farmers prevailed 252 to 181 as city residents jeered at the “pig-headed” moss backs and left town in a swarm of horse cars and buckboards.
