BERWICK WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 91 community water systems in Maine in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,845 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 1992 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

Of the 23, 15 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
