Waterville Rgnl is in Waterville, Maine. The field elevation is 332.8 ft MSL. It has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,500 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF self-announce work on 122.7.
Runway 05 has the published ILS. MALSR lighting is on runway 05. Runway 23 has REIL lighting. High intensity runway lighting is available on 05 and 23 on CTAF. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at about 1,333 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
Waterville LaFleur Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours self-serve. The field also has de-icing available. One operational note matters here. Aircraft operations are permitted on paved areas only. Another note says to avoid the hospital one mile north. If you need transient hangar space, call ahead. If you need clearance delivery when approach is closed, contact Boston ARTCC. For a first visit, pay attention to the runway lighting setup and the non-towered traffic flow. The airport has two runways. 05/23 is the one that gives you the longest landing distance.
