On May 28, 2024, the Dedham-Westwood Water District announced the availability of its 2023 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) online. The CCR, which provides information including water source, quality, and testing, shows that the water district is currently in compliance with state drinking water standards.
It also notes that, according to a June 2003 Source Water Assessment and Protection Report from Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, seven out of twelve water supply sources for the water district are highly susceptible to contamination, due to hazardous materials storage and use, transportation corridors, and residential land use.
The CCR is available at https://www.dwwd.org/2023ccr.
Thanks to Dedham-Westwood Water District for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.
