The short answer

2 results are above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. 4 health-based violations since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate and haloacetic acids (HAA5): Maine’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Uranium, chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from March 26, 2012 to March 25, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal2

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

3.8ppb

Highest yearly average, 2015 to 2019

Averaged by year, the highest was 3.8 ppb, in 2019: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That was also the latest year on file.

What handles it

Arsenic

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

1.0ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.0 ppb, in 2021: below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. That is the only year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 0.92 ppb, in 2012.

2023 average: 0.73 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.98 ppm, in 2021, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. In 2023, the latest year on file, it averaged 0.73 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest sample of 1.2 ppm, in 2017.

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

4.1ppb

Highest yearly average, 2021 to 2023

2023: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 4.1 ppb, in 2022, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2023, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found.

Chromium (total)

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2018

2018, one sample: 1.7 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 3.3 ppb, in 2012, below EPA’s legal limit of 100 ppb. In 2018, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.7 ppb.

2018, one sample: 0.1 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.1 ppm, in 2012, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2018, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.1 ppm.

What handles it

One compound tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Lead

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

  • NSF/ANSI 53

    Claim: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (III) (50 ppb influent level)

  • NSF/ANSI 58

    Claims: Uranium, Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=50 ppb Reduction

    For: Uranium, Arsenic

    Other certifiers’ wording: Arsenic (Pentavalent)<=300 ppb Reduction; Arsenic (V) (300 ppb influent level)

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate and haloacetic acids (HAA5) results here are Maine’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Boudreau Trailer Park’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for Maine cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from March 26, 2012 to March 25, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Boudreau Trailer Park’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab Maine certifies.

No lab Maine certifies is within 75 miles of the area Boudreau Trailer Park serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.

Maine Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory: Well water test kits ordered online, from a bacteria-only test to full panels for new wells and home sales. The lab must receive the sample within 30 hours of collection. The basic safety test is $42, bacteria alone $27, first-draw lead $32, and the fuller well tests $127 to $147.
