The Bedford Water, a public community water system under the Town Department of Public Works – Water/Sewer Division, provides water for about 14,126 residents living in the area of Bedford, a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Established as a town in 1729, the Bedford Water System currently obtains its supply via purchase directly from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA). MWRA water comes from a blend of surface water sources, including the Quabbin Reservoir and Wachusett Reservoir. When demand arises, water from the Ware River can also be added to the supply.
