How does Hancock Village MHP compare with other water systems in Hancock County?
By EPA's size categories, Hancock Village MHP is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Hancock County has 203 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 232 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 47,019 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Maine, the 1,862 active systems average 503 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Hancock Village MHP is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Maine has 386 active community water systems, 21% of the state's 1,862 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,780 Maine systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Hancock Village MHP?
EPA lists Hancock Village MHP as privately owned. The ME state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 157 of the 203 active systems in Hancock County (77%) are also privately owned.
Does Hancock Village MHP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2019 and May 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 4 as archived and 2 as unaddressed. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
