Massachusetts Water Resources Authority
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) is a public authority in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that provides wholesale drinking water and sewage services. The MWRA provides water for about 2,550,000 residents living primarily in the Boston area. Established in 1985, the MWRA collects water from Quabbin Reservoir, Wachusett Reservoir, and sometimes Ware River but only during high flow. Both Sudbury Reservoir and Foss Reservoir, a.k.a. Framingham Reservoir are on standby when backup supplies are needed.

Consumer Confidence Water Quality Reports
Under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA requires Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to assess local water quality each year and distribute a Consumer Confidence Water Quality Report. At WaterZen, we review these reports and make the information available, in a concise, straightforward, and easy-to-understand way.
