Drinking Water Notice

Fort Kent W & W Department, PWSID# ME 0090560

DID NOT MEET WATER TESTING REQUIREMENTS

for the period of 1/1/21 to 12/31/23

FORT KENT W & W DEPARTMENT violated a drinking water standard.  Even though this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation.

We are required to monitor our drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis.   Results of regular monitoring indicate whether or not our drinking water meets health standards.  During 1/1/21 to 12/31/23, we did not test/did not adequately test for diquat and endothall from TREAT PT 1.

What Does This Mean:

Because we did not test during the specific compliance periods, we cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time period.

What Should You Do: 

There is nothing you need to do at this time.

What is Being done:

To correct the problem we collected a sample (s) on 5/15/24 and test results were:  PASSED.
