The Buzzards Bay Water District receives its water supply from four groundwater sources supplied by the Plymouth / Carver aquifer. Station 2 is located off Kettle Lane and Stations 1,3 and 4 are all located off Bournedale Road. Each well has its own pump station and chemical feed equipment. Groundwater is naturally filtered through soil usually not requiring additional filtration, however, potassium hydroxide (KOH) is used to raise the pH of the water. This reduces corrosion of household plumbing and also reduces your exposure to lead and copper. Water pumped is used by the residents and what is remaining is stored in two storage tanks. The tanks provide pressure and fire protection for the District. The total capacity of the two tanks is two million gallons. This capacity helps ensure consistent supply to all residences during high peak demand periods. The District is overseen by the Board of Water Commissioners. All are welcome to attend the Board of Water Commissioners’ meetings held at the Buzzards Bay District Office, 15 Wallace Avenue, Buzzards Bay, MA. The Board meetings are posted at the Town Hall or you can call the District office for date and time. The Annual Water District Meeting is scheduled for April 14, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. Water Quality Data for community water systems throughout the United States is available at www.waterdata.com.
