Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from York Water District

York Water District supplies York: about 65% of residents live in its service area. Kittery Water District serves another 7%. About 28% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws surface water (EPA lists Kennebunk, Kennebunkport & Wells WD and Kittery Water District as sellers) and serves 13,675 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.
