Real answers about Norfolk’s water, from Norfolk Center and City Mills to the Stony Brook area off Route 115, where groundwater wells and private wells can carry iron, manganese, and hardness.
CleanTap Water Solutions is the local water team Norfolk homeowners count on, and as a certified BritaPRO installer we begin every project with a free in-home water test rather than a sales pitch. We are a licensed and insured Massachusetts company with more than 60 years of combined experience across water filtration, plumbing, and HVAC, serving Norfolk from our Braintree and Mansfield bases. From Norfolk Center and City Mills to Pondville and the neighborhoods along Route 115, the test always comes first, and it matters even more here because Norfolk homes run on two very different water sources. Knowing what is actually in your water is the only way to size the right system for your home.
Norfolk’s public water is run by the town’s DPW Water Division, which draws from municipal groundwater wells rather than a reservoir or the MWRA. Like much of eastern Massachusetts groundwater, the local supply can carry naturally occurring iron and manganese along with moderate hardness, which over time leave staining, scale, and sediment that shorten the life of water heaters and fixtures. Many homes in Norfolk’s more rural stretches are not on town water at all and rely on private drilled wells with their own pumps and pressure tanks. Both worlds benefit from the right treatment: filtration to strip out iron and sediment, and softening to tame hardness, so your water runs clean and your plumbing lasts.
We install and service the full range of home water systems: whole-home filtration to remove iron, manganese, and sediment, water softeners sized to Norfolk’s moderate hardness, and under-sink reverse osmosis for clean, great-tasting drinking and cooking water. For private well homes we install, repair, and treat well systems matched to your actual water chemistry. With $0-down financing available, upgrading is more affordable than most people expect, and filtered water straight from your own tap beats the ongoing cost and hassle of bottled water. Every system we recommend is sized to your free water test results, whether you are on town water or a private well, never a generic spec sheet.
Everything starts with a free in-home water test. Our own experienced water specialists, with 60+ years of combined experience and certified BritaPRO installation, test what’s actually coming out of your taps, hand you a clear report, and only then recommend a system. You get upfront, fixed pricing, clean installation, and equipment matched to your water, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Whether you need a whole-home filter, a water softener for hard-water scale, a reverse-osmosis drinking-water system, or targeted PFAS and lead reduction, we handle it, with $0-down financing available. One trusted local number for water filtration, plumbing, and heating & cooling across your whole home.
Norfolk’s public water is supplied by the town’s DPW Water Division, the Norfolk Water Department, which draws from municipal groundwater wells rather than a reservoir or the MWRA system. Like much of eastern Massachusetts groundwater, the local supply can carry naturally occurring iron and manganese plus moderate hardness. In practice that means the staining, scale buildup, and sediment many Norfolk homeowners notice, which shortens the life of water heaters and fixtures. And Norfolk is really two water towns in one: many homes in the more rural stretches are not on town water at all, relying instead on private drilled wells with their own pumps and pressure tanks, where iron, hardness, and sediment can be even more pronounced without any municipal treatment.
CleanTap services both worlds and starts the same way in each: with facts. Our free in-home water test measures your specific water chemistry, whether it comes from a town well or your own private well, and we explain the results in plain English. From there we right-size the solution, from filtration that removes iron, manganese, and sediment to a softener that tames hardness, or point-of-use RO for drinking water. For private well homes, we also install, repair, and treat the well system itself. We test before we recommend, so you only invest in what your Norfolk water actually needs.

Real 5-star Google reviews from CleanTap customers across the South Shore.
“I called on a Sunday, my boiler was overfilling itself. Sean was patient and informative on the phone, then Luiz came out on a Sunday, fixed my leak, and got my heat up and running within the hour. Both were patient, helpful, and transparent about everything. I highly recommend their service!”
“Can’t thank Sean and his team enough! They were incredibly kind, courteous, and professional while explaining every detail from start to finish.”
“They were fantastic. Very responsive and came out the next day. The plumber, Luiz, was very knowledgeable and efficient in getting the leak fixed. Did not feel upcharged, very straightforward. Highly recommend. Much better than other plumbers after interviewing multiple. They were the best.”
Curious about your local water quality, or need a plumber or HVAC pro too? It’s all one trusted local team.
Norfolk’s public water comes from municipal groundwater wells run by the town’s DPW Water Division and is treated to meet state and federal standards. Like much of eastern Massachusetts groundwater, it can carry naturally occurring iron and manganese plus moderate hardness, which cause staining, scale, and sediment more than a safety worry, though many homeowners prefer to filter them out. Homes on private wells in Norfolk’s rural areas are responsible for their own water and often see these issues more strongly. A free in-home water test tells you exactly what your well or town supply is carrying so you can decide with confidence. Call (781) 630-5449.
It is simple and there is no obligation. One of our technicians comes to your Norfolk home at a convenient time and tests your water on site, checking for things like iron, manganese, hardness, and sediment, whether you are on town water or a private well. We then walk you through the results in plain English so you understand exactly what your water is carrying. If treatment makes sense, we recommend a system sized to your home and your water chemistry, and if your water is fine, we will tell you that too. Call (781) 630-5449 to schedule. We test before we recommend.
Absolutely. Many Norfolk homes in the more rural stretches rely on private drilled wells with their own pumps and pressure tanks, and CleanTap services that whole world. We install, repair, and treat private well systems, including softeners and filtration sized to your home’s actual water chemistry. Private well water often carries more iron, manganese, hardness, and sediment than town supply because there is no municipal treatment, so testing first is essential. We measure exactly what your well delivers with a free in-home water test, then right-size the treatment. Call (781) 630-5449 to book your visit.
As a certified BritaPRO installer, CleanTap installs the full range of home water solutions. Whole-home filtration removes iron, manganese, and sediment common in Norfolk’s groundwater, water softeners tackle the moderate hardness that leaves scale, and under-sink reverse osmosis delivers clean, great-tasting water for drinking and cooking. For private well homes we install, repair, and treat the well system and add filtration matched to your chemistry. We size every system to your free water test results, offer $0-down financing, and handle any required permits through the town. Call (781) 630-5449 to book your test.
Most Massachusetts public water meets federal standards, but “meets standards” doesn’t mean pure, chlorine/chloramine, disinfection byproducts, hardness, and in some areas PFAS or lead from older service lines can still affect taste, safety, and your appliances. Private wells aren’t tested by any utility at all. The only way to know what’s in your water is to test it, which is exactly why we offer a free in-home water test and a clear report.
We come to your home, test your water on the spot for the things that matter, hardness, chlorine, pH, iron, TDS and more, and walk you through a clear report of what we find. There’s no cost, no obligation, and no pressure. If treatment makes sense we’ll recommend the right system for your water and budget; if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too. Call (781) 630-5449 to book.
A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that make water “hard”, the cause of scale, spotting, and appliance wear. A filter removes things like chlorine, sediment, taste, odor, PFAS, or lead. Many homes benefit from both, which is why we test first and design a system, softener, whole-home filter, drinking-water RO, or a combination, around your actual water rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Yes. PFAS and lead are best addressed with the right technology, typically reverse osmosis and/or specialized filtration media at the point of use or whole-home. We test your water, review your town’s data, and match a system proven to reduce those contaminants. If you’re on an older service line or in an area with PFAS detections, this is worth doing.
Yes. Under-sink reverse osmosis is one of the most effective ways to get clean, great-tasting water for drinking and cooking, removing a wide range of dissolved contaminants. We can pair a kitchen RO system with a whole-home softener or filter so you get treated water at every tap and the highest-purity water where you drink it.
As a general guide in Massachusetts, under-sink RO systems typically run about $300–$800 installed, water softeners about $1,500–$3,500, whole-home carbon/sediment filtration about $1,500–$4,000, and advanced whole-home PFAS/RO systems roughly $4,000–$10,000. The right system depends on your water and home, so we test first and give you an upfront, fixed quote. $0-down financing is available.
Yes, CleanTap is a certified BritaPRO installer, and we install BritaPRO whole-home systems along with other leading filtration and softening equipment. Because we’re not tied to a single box, we recommend what actually fits your water and your home after we test it, not whatever we happen to stock.
Almost always, yes. A household that buys bottled water often spends more over a few years than a good filtration system costs, and you skip the plastic, the lugging, and the storage. Whole-home and RO systems give you clean water at every tap for a fraction of the per-gallon cost of bottled, which is a big reason our customers make the switch.
Definitely. Private wells commonly have hardness, iron, manganese, sulfur odor, sediment, and sometimes bacteria or other concerns, and no utility monitors them for you. We test your well water, explain what we find, and design a treatment train, softening, filtration, disinfection as needed, to make it clean, clear, and safe at every tap.
Most systems just need periodic filter or media changes and occasional checks, which we make easy. We’ll tell you the schedule for your specific system up front, and we’re a local call away when it’s time. Good maintenance keeps your water quality high and protects your investment.
Yes. We offer flexible, $0-down financing on qualifying filtration and softening systems, so clean water fits your budget without a big up-front cost. We’ll go over the options with your quote after the free water test.
