MWRA's Annual Water Report is in the Mail

Throughout the month of June, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority will be mailing its Annual Water Quality Report to every household in its service area.

For 2015, as a system, MWRA again met every federal and state drinking water standard, including lead. The hundreds of thousands of tests taken during the year confirm that the quality of MWRA’s water is excellent.

With all the recent stories about lead, MWRA wants to assure customers that their water is safe. This year, the report includes additional pages with information on lead in drinking water and ways to minimize your risks. MWRA has also made $100 million in zero-interest loans available to its member cities and towns to remove remaining lead service lines in their communities.

“We hope our customers take a few moments to read this report,” said MWRA’s executive director Fred Laskey. “The best way to ensure your safety is to stay informed. We have great confidence in the water we deliver to over 2 million customers and we want you to, as well.”

The report is distributed to over 850,000 homes in the MWRA service area as required under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Community-specific inserts also provide information about municipal water systems. The reports are being mailed through the end of June. Look for it in your mailbox.

The report is also available on-line in English and Spanish (PDF). A large print version is available upon request.
