GARDINER WATER DISTRICT is among the 16 largest community water systems in Maine, serving 9,000 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 9 entries between 1992 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.

All 9 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 the Lead and Copper Rule, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and inorganic chemicals.

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.
