Andover Water Quality Report Released

ANDOVER – The Department of Public Works has released the 2015 Water Quality report.

Residents can obtain an electronic copy on the town's website, and hard copies are available at

Memorial Hall Library, Town Hall, and the Water Treatment Plant. 

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection prepared a Source Water Assessment Report (SWAP) for water supplies serving Andover. "The purpose of the assessment was to determine the susceptibility of drinking water sources to potential contaminant sources (PCS) so that we can focus protection efforts," the report states.

Andover's drinking water supply comes from Haggetts Pond and more than 1,400 acres of watershed area. The results of the assessment are available online in the SWAP report here.
