WARE WATER DEPT is one of 168 community water systems in Massachusetts in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 10,066 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1996 and 2003, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2003.
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 volatile organic chemicals.
