Can You Drink Tap Water in Brockton?
Yes, Brockton's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as Brockton has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page or the city's water provider website.
According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, Brockton's water utility, Brockton Water Department, had 0 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. The last violation for Brockton was resolved on June 30, 2018. This assessment is based on the Brockton Water Department water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.
While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.
The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.
Water Quality Report for Brockton Tap Water
The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in Brockton tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.
Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.
EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.
There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.
We recommend looking at the contaminants present in Brockton's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.
Brockton Tap Water Safe Drinking Water Act Violation History - Prior 10 Years
Below is a ten year history of violations for the water system named Brockton Water Department for Brockton in Massachusetts. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.
From April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018, Brockton had 1 health-based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average which falls into the Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code group, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: TTHM.
From July 1, 2014 to Sept. 30, 2014, Brockton had 1 health-based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average which falls into the Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code group, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: TTHM.
From April 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, Brockton had 1 health-based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average which falls into the Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code group, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: TTHM.
From Jan. 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014, Brockton had 1 health-based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average which falls into the Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code group, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: TTHM.
From Oct. 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2013, Brockton had 1 health-based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average which falls into the Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code group, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: TTHM.
Is there Lead in Brockton Water?
Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the Brockton water system, Brockton Water Department, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.003 mg/L of lead in Brockton water. This is 20.0% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from Brockton contained more lead.
While Brockton water testing may have found 0.003 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.
No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.
Are there PFAS in Brockton Tap Water?
Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - Naval Air Station South Weymouth - near Brockton with suspected leaks.
With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if Brockton has been evaluated for yet.
Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.

2020 DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT
WATER SOURCE
Currently, the Brockton system obtains its drinking water from Silver Lake and the Brockton Reservoir. Silver Lake is the primary supply (88.25% of total) and is located apprnximately 15 miles southeast of the center of Brockton. Over 50% of the watersheds arc either owned by the City of Brockton or in conservation protection. The remainder of the acreage is largely
diameter mains to the City's Pumping station. After the pumr,ing station, the water travels through one
diameter transmission mains to the Brockton service system. The Brockton Reservoir is a supplemental supply (5.51 % of total) to Silver
Lake and is blended into the system at Woodland Avenue. This reservoir was placed in service when the ~Toodland Avenue \v'TP became
operational in 1994. The Brockton service area and water sources are shown on the map on the front cover. Brockton may also purchase
suriplemental water from the Aquaria Water Treatment Plant in Dighton, Mass. which treats water from the Taunton River and is
connected to the Brockton water system on Pearl St at the '\{!est Btidgewater line. Brockton did purchase water from Aquaria in 2020
(6.24% of total).
SHver Lake can be supplemented by }'urnace Pond in Pembroke and Monponsett Pond in Halifax and are diverted by gravity to
Silver Lake. These sources are subject to certain seasonal ope.rating restrictions. The safe yield of the Silver Lake system is 9.4 million
gallons per Jay (mgd). The safe yield of the Brockton Reservoir is 0.81 mgd.
Emergency sources include the Hubbard Avenue well, located in the southern part of Brockton. The Hubbard Avenue well has not been
active since 1985 due to fear of drawing nearby contaminated groundwater toward the well.
Over the last twenty years the City has replaced 19 .16 miles of undersized mains and 16.692 miles of large 100 year old mains
for a total of 35.85 miles of pipe, which has reduced water lost in the system while adding over 199 new £re hydrants to these streets. This
year the City rehab the Transmission )\fain from Silver Lake. The City has a regular leak detection program that regularly inspects the 303
miles of water mains in Brockton. This has maintained the systems annual ,vater consumption at 8.937 million gallons per day in 2020.
SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
The Brock.tun water 8ystem was evaluated in April 2003 by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and has remained
relatively unchanged since then. This evaluation is called a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP). The SWAP found that the
watersheds for the Brockton Water System arc primarily a mix of underdeveloped forest (42% for Silver Lake 38% for Brockton
Reservoir), residential development (23% and 14%). Agriculture, industry (18%) for Brockton Reservoir) commercial uses and protected
open space. The Hubbard Avenue Well which is only used in an emergency has an Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA) that
contains predominantly residential (35%), commercial (21 % and industrial (8%) uses, with some forest. In the SWAP the Brockton \'(/ater
System was commended for talcing an active rnle in implementing source protection measures. The S\v'AP is available for review and
questions at the Brockton \v'ater Department Office. Brian Creedon, the Water Systems Manager, is available to answer any questions and
is available for educational pro,grams on further inquires on the Brockton Water System. fiurther information on the SWAP is available at

Lead and Copper in the Drinking Water:
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines from the street and home plumbing The City of Brockton Water Division is responsible for high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by .flushing your tap water for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the water gets colder, before using water to drink or cook. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater /lead.
Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water, \Ve monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system,
There were no Cryptosporidium cells found in any testing of the City of Brockton water system raw water sow·ces during 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2000.
The City docs not add Fluoride to the water.
There was no detection of arsenic, antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cyanide, fluoride, mercury, nickel, selenium, or thallium in our testing.
Brockton water is monitored continuously and has a hardness of 20 to 40 ppm, and is considered soft. This is important as less detergent is needed when using washing machines or dishwashers.
Per and
The Brockton \v'ater Department had elevated levels of PFAS6 in the dt:inkingwater from one of its sources dw·ing monitoring in 2020.AS a result, On February 7, 2021, the impacted source the Woodland Avenue. Water Treatment Plant, which treats the ,vatcr from the Brockton Reservoir, was removed from service. On March 19, 2021 we mailed to all residents
"While removed from service, upgrades were completed at the Woodland.Ave. Water Treatment Plant. Upgrades included replacing both filter carbons with new granular activated carbon (GAC) The newly installed G.A.C is designed to reduce PPASG from the water. Based on laboratory results, PPASG was not detected in the drinking water. On April 10, 2021, the \v'oodlandAve. \Y./ater Treaunent Plant was placed back in service. The Brockton Water Department will work closcly·with the 1.vlassDRP to monitor future PFAS6 levels in the City's drinking water. PFASG samples will be taken at the Woodland Ave. \XTater 'I'teatmcntPlant monthly, with results graphed and shared with 1.vhssDEP.
The City of Btockton is ptoud to offer the Sensus Customer Portal which allows its citizen the ability to view their water usage and set up alerts if the amount ofwatet or dollar amount is exceeded. It can be found on the City Web Page at www.brockton.ma.us on the front page undet Departments/Public Works on pg.7.
*** You need to have your account number in otder to tegister, which can be found on you water bill***
Water Use Restrictions (Water Bans) can be found on the City Web Page and also must be followed by properties with irrigation meters. www.brockton.ma.us
Reminder
Always take extra precautions, the water may be safe to drink when it leaves the sewage treatment plant but it may pick up pollutants during its way to your tap. We advise that you ask locals or hotel staff about the water quality. Also, note that different cities have different water mineral contents.
