How does The Meadows compare with other water systems in Androscoggin County?
By EPA's size categories, The Meadows is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Androscoggin County has 94 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 744 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 69,935 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 The Meadows 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 The Meadows?
EPA lists The Meadows 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. 75 of the 94 active systems in Androscoggin County (80%) are also privately owned.
Does The Meadows have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2016 and December 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 3 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
