Report Highlights MWRA’s Continued Efforts to Conserve Resources and Provide High Quality Water
BOSTON- To keep residents informed with the most up-to-date information regarding the drinking water system, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) has begun mailing its Annual Water Quality Report to every household within its service area. The MWRA provides high quality water to over 3.2 million people in fifty-three municipalities in the eastern and central parts of the Commonwealth.
“Great water starts at the source. At MWRA, we recognize all that has gone into creating this magnificent resource.” said Stephen Estes-Smargiassi, MWRA Executive Director. “This report provides you with the results of our drinking water testing for 2025. Every year, we take hundreds of thousands of tests to ensure that your water is safe. Our state-of-the-art monitoring system checks your water every step of the way, from forest to faucet. Once again, MWRA met every state and federal standard, and the quality of your drinking water is excellent.”
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 local water systems within the MWRA’s service area. The reports, including a Spanish language version, are available online and can be translated into dozens of languages. Larger-print versions are available upon request.
The report also highlights MWRA aggressive action to reduce the risk of lead in drinking water by partnering with municipalities throughout its service area. Since 2016, the Authority has provided $72.4 million to help communities replace thousands of lead service lines and safeguard public health.
