Boston Water and Sewer Commission
The Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) is dedicated to ensuring the quality and reliability of water services in Boston. Its recent lead sampling initiative found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in some homes, highlighting the importance of awareness concerning lead service lines in older properties while maintaining that all of Boston's water mains are lead-free.
In addition to monitoring water quality, BWSC undertakes various projects aimed at improving the city's water and sewer infrastructure, such as the separation of combined sewer systems and rehabilitation of critical wastewater structures. The commission also provides educational resources and assistance programs aimed at promoting environmental stewardship and public safety.
