We’ve built water quality reports for towns across Eastern Massachusetts using real EWG Tap Water Database data. Find your town, see the contaminants above health guidelines, and learn how to filter them.
There are two ways to understand your water, and they’re different. A water quality report tells you what’s been measured in your public water system, the town-wide picture, drawn from utility testing and databases like the EWG Tap Water Database. A water test checks your own tap, in your own home, and catches anything your household plumbing adds (like lead) that a system-wide report can’t.
This page is the water-quality side: town-by-town reports of what’s in Massachusetts public water. When you’re ready to know exactly what’s at your tap, book a free in-home water test, the two work together.
We’ve published detailed water quality reports for towns across Greater Boston, the South Shore, MetroWest, and the SouthCoast, each built from that town’s real measured data, showing the contaminants above health-based guidelines (including PFAS, disinfection byproducts, and more) and the filtration that addresses them. Use the links at the bottom of this page to jump to major towns, or ask us for your specific town.
Each report distinguishes between a supply being legal and being ideal, water can meet every regulation and still carry contaminants above independent health guidelines, which is exactly the gap home filtration closes.
Every town report is built from real, measured data, we never invent numbers. Each one shows:
A featured list of what’s measured above health-based guidelines, with how many times over.
Every detected contaminant with its measured level, the health guideline, the legal limit, and how far over it is.
Clear attribution to the town’s water utility via the EWG Tap Water Database.
Recommendations derived from the actual contaminants found, not a generic upsell.
A town report is the best starting point, but your home is unique, the age of your plumbing, whether you’re on city water or a private well, and your specific street all matter. That’s why the honest next step after reading your town’s report is a free in-home water test: we measure your actual tap, explain the results in plain English, and match certified filtration only to what’s really there.
No scare tactics, no one-size-fits-all systems, just clear answers about your water.
Most Massachusetts public water is legal to drink, but ‘legal’ and ‘ideal’ aren’t the same. Many supplies carry PFAS, disinfection byproducts, or lead (from home plumbing) above independent health guidelines. Our town reports show the specifics, and a free in-home test tells you what’s at your own tap.
Our town reports are built from real measured data via the EWG Tap Water Database, attributed to each town’s water utility. We preserve the figures exactly and never fabricate numbers.
A report is the town-wide picture from utility/database testing; a test checks your own tap and catches what your household plumbing adds, like lead. They complement each other.
We’ve published reports for many Eastern Massachusetts towns and are adding more. Check the town links below, or call (781) 630-5449 and we’ll point you to yours or run a free in-home test.
