The short answer

Nothing in EPA’s and CDC’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What was found

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 3.1 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2009. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Nitrate, arsenic and total trihalomethanes (TTHM): Maine’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023.

Fluoride, chromium (total) and uranium: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from April 28, 2014 to April 10, 2017. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Nitrate, arsenic and total trihalomethanes (TTHM) results here are Maine’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride, chromium (total) and uranium come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Oakwood Mobile Community Association’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 April 28, 2014 to April 10, 2017.

Testing your own tap

Oakwood Mobile Community Association’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.

The 3 labs Maine certifies closest to the area Oakwood Mobile Community Association serves, in a straight line. Call first: certification is test by test, and not every lab takes samples from homeowners.

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.
