Lead Sampling

11:04 AM 10/17/2025

Boston’s water quality sampling taken of 33 homes with lead service lines during the fall of 2025 sampling found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in 4 homes.  As a reminder, all of Boston’s water mains are lead free.  However, some older homes in Boston may have a lead water service line. BWSC has produced a new PSA on Lead you can find in the notice.
