Who to call to start service at a new address in Norway.
Power comes from Central Maine Power
Central Maine Power (Central Maine Power Co), an investor-owned utility, serves all of Norway. Its homes paid an average of 27.4¢ per kWh in 2025, about $147 a month (its average across Maine, for customers on its standard service). Maine lets you buy power from another supplier; 8% of Central Maine Power’s home customers do, and Central Maine Power still delivers it.

Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Norway Water District
Norway Water District supplies Norway: about 47% of residents live in its service area. About 53% 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 Oxford Water District and Paris Utility District as sellers) and serves 2,000 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 7,966 systems serving 1,001–3,300 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2021–Dec 2023, was 3.4 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. That’s higher than 86% of similar systems’ latest results.
The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report
