flag Passamaquoddy residents in Maine still lack safe tap water despite a 2022 filter, due to ongoing contamination and distrust.

flag Residents of the Passamaquoddy Reservation in Sipayik, Maine, may soon get clean drinking water after years of contamination from Boyden Lake, a vulnerable surface supply affected by weather and beaver activity. flag Though a 2022 filter reduced harmful disinfection byproducts like TTHMs, levels still exceed federal limits occasionally. flag Despite improvements, many residents remain distrustful, avoiding tap water for drinking and even refusing it for pets, relying instead on bottled water. flag Efforts to secure a reliable long-term water source continue, but rebuilding community trust remains a major obstacle.
