Water comes from Greater Augusta Utility District
Greater Augusta Utility District supplies Augusta: about 84% of residents live in its service area. About 15% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water (EPA lists Hallowell Water District as seller) and serves 13,750 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2023–Dec 2025, was 1.1 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. That’s lower than 51% of similar systems’ latest results.
