DRESDEN WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 536 community water systems in Maine in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 43 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1995 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.
Of the 3, 2 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 Total Coliform Rules, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
