How does Renys Distribution Center compare with other water systems in Lincoln County?
By EPA's size categories, Renys Distribution Center is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lincoln County has 84 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 289 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 24,301 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Maine, the 1,862 active systems average 503 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Renys Distribution Center is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Maine has 385 active non-transient non-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 Renys Distribution Center?
EPA lists Renys Distribution Center 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. 66 of the 84 active systems in Lincoln County (79%) are also privately owned.
Does Renys Distribution Center have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between November 2005 and October 2023. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring, 2 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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.
