Drought Conditions & Well Water

Well Water Safety

In an article from the USGS, it is noted that an estimated 4.1 million people in the lower 48 states are potentially exposed to arsenic levels that exceed EPA's drinking water standards. Drought conditions may lead to elevated levels of naturally occurring arsenic in private domestic wells.

Full information regarding Well Water Quality is available on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection webpage, including where you can get your water tested in Maine.

Information about public water quality is readily available by contacting the Norridgewock Water District at 634-2660.
