EAST CALAIS FIRE DISTRICT 1 Water System
Consumer Confidence Report status
EAST CALAIS FIRE DISTRICT 1 must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.
As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 2 items for EAST CALAIS FIRE DISTRICT 1 that are open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.
Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Vermont’s official records. Always confirm current status with Vermont before making decisions based on this information.

EAST CALAIS FIRE DISTRICT 1 is one of 498 community water systems in Vermont in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 200 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 62 entries between 1992 and 2024, of which 2 remain open; none are health-based.
All 62 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 volatile organic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.

- As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 2 items for EAST CALAIS FIRE DISTRICT 1 that are open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.
What is a Consumer Confidence Report?
- A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. 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.
