CHESTER WATER DEPT is one of 81 community water systems in Massachusetts in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 750 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries in 1998, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1998.
All 3 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals.
