Common Water Concerns in Standish, ME

The water in Standish and throughout Cumberland County can vary widely depending on your location and water source. Common problems include:

• Arsenic in well water – Naturally present in Maine’s bedrock and found in many private wells across Standish.
• Radon in water – A gas that dissolves into groundwater and can enter your home’s air when you shower or wash dishes.
• Hard water (scale and minerals) – Causes cloudy glassware, buildup in pipes, and wear on appliances and water heaters.
• PFAS contamination – Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS have been identified in parts of Maine groundwater.
• Unpleasant odors and tastes – From sulfur smells to chlorine or metallic aftertastes, these issues can make water unappealing to drink.

The Importance of Knowing What’s in Your Water

Even clear, odorless water can contain invisible contaminants. Testing your water is one of the simplest ways to protect your family’s long-term health and your home’s plumbing system.

In Standish, issues like arsenic and radon are naturally occurring, meaning they can affect any home, even one that’s never had a problem before. The Maine CDC recommends testing private wells every 3–5 years, or sooner if you notice changes in your water’s taste, color, or odor.

 Tip: Testing is free with Fontus, and understanding your results could save you hundreds in appliance repairs or replacement costs down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I test my well water in Standish?
The Maine CDC recommends testing every 3–5 years, especially for arsenic, radon, and uranium. You should also test after any major plumbing work or noticeable change in water quality.

What’s the difference between city and well water treatment?
City water is regulated and treated for safety, but can still carry chlorine, sediment, or hardness minerals. Well water, on the other hand, is unregulated — meaning homeowners are responsible for testing and treating it themselves.

How long does it take to get water test results?
Our on-site test provides same-day results for common issues like hardness, pH, and iron. If lab testing is needed, results typically return within 5–10 business days.
