Maybe you could try putting a call into code enforcement?

All I could find in the state laws was that a landlord has to notify you of coliform levels, but nothing about rectifying it:
The landlord or building manager of a dwelling that is rented for human habitation and for which the water supply is a residential private drinking water well shall obtain a water test every 3 to 5 years for the contaminants specified pursuant to section 2660-T and shall disclose the results of the water test to each tenant of the dwelling within 10 business days after receiving the results from a laboratory. The landlord or building manager shall allow each prospective tenant of the dwelling to review results of the most recent water test prior to signing a lease or moving into the dwelling.

Yeah, I’m not good at dissecting laws or seeking out pertaining laws but I don’t think it would hurt to give them a call and see if they can help or point you in the right direction. Maybe they can’t help at all but it’s worth a shot.

Coliform is one of those indicators that your well might have other contaminants present. Usually does not cause an issue for healthy humans.
Folks with private wells can seek assistance from a private well specialist thru DHHS: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/environmental-health/dwp/consumers/waterWellFacts.shtml
