ASHBURNHAM WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 93 community water systems in Massachusetts in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,680 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 1992 and 2003, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2003.

Of the 23, 22 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, synthetic organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.
