Drinking Water Notice
Fort Kent W & W Department, PWSID# ME 0090560
DID NOT MEET WATER TESTING REQUIREMENTS
for the period of 1/1/21 to 12/31/23
FORT KENT W & W DEPARTMENT violated a drinking water standard. Even though this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation.
We are required to monitor our drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring indicate whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During 1/1/21 to 12/31/23, we did not test/did not adequately test for diquat and endothall from TREAT PT 1.
What Does This Mean:
Because we did not test during the specific compliance periods, we cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time period.
What Should You Do:
There is nothing you need to do at this time.
What is Being done:
To correct the problem we collected a sample (s) on 5/15/24 and test results were: PASSED.
