I suspect it is from smokers in the midwest, their second hand smoke drifts into Maine and contaminates the water. Or it is from people shooting off guns in Maine and leaving the cartridges on the ground which then go into the water. Yeah, that's it...

Since I grew up in both New Hampshire and Maine my best guess (not being facetious) is that it is possibly Radon gas which is emmitted from granite. This is very common in Northern New England (new Hampshire is called the Granite state).

Too cold to go outside and piss. Bet there is next to zero bladder cancer here in Texas, where pissing outdoors is a constitutional right.

Well, you're close. Leave out the water, inhaling the smoke will do it. Smoking IS a common cause of bladder cancer. My father lost his bladder that way.
