Welcome to the City of Calais!

June 10, 2022

The Calais Water Department is providing our customers with this update regarding the water quality.  Over the past few months, we have made several operational changes to reduce the levels of total trihalomethanes in the water.  The most recent round of testing conducted this spring revealed these efforts have been successful with a reduction of about 40% in the total trihalomethanes levels.  As a result, the Water Department is again meeting all drinking water standards.  We will continue to work every day to ensure the Calais Water Department customers are always provided with safe and reliable service.

If you have any questions, please contact Marc at 454-2760
