DOWNEAST CORRECTIONAL FACILITY is one of 536 community water systems in Maine in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 63 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1997 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 5, 3 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 Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
