Discolored water from your tap is a result of sediment in the pipes becoming agitated and fine particles that travel in the water. This is unavoidable. Ground water naturally contains minerals which can interact with plumbing and create sediment in the plumbing. The Grafton Water District treats the water using the Department of Environment (DEP) guidelines to ensure it is safe to use.
The water is tested monthly for bacteria at 17 sites throughout the system. Lead and copper testing is done at 20 sites every three years. Other tests are done for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrates, nitrites, metals, inorganic compounds, radon and others. Check our water quality section for the most recent test results or call us directly at our office at (508) 839-2302.
No, the District doesn't add fluoride to the water.
That is your choice. Our water is often safer than bottled water. Not until recently has the bottled water industry had to comply to the same water quality standards that public water systems have had to. If you fill a jug with our water and place it in the refrigerator it will be cold and taste better than directly out of the tap.
The pH is kept at 7.2 - 7.5. The hardness of the water is in the middle of the range.
Yes, the District adds chlorine but the levels are sometimes not detected because we add so little of it.
This is iron and manganese staining. Although it is harmless it often is a nuisance from a cosmetic standpoint. The District is now treating its water to prevent this from happening. However, sometimes when there is a fire or we are flushing hydrants you will notice a color problem.
Green staining is copper leaching from your piping. Often you can avoid this by turning the temperature down in your hot water heater.
