MWRA's Drinking Water Test Results for 2003 Massachusetts Water Resources Authority This report is required under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act Public Law 104-12, Section 1414 (C), PWS ID #6000000 This report describes how we treat, test and deliver tap water to your home. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority and your local water department test up to 500 samples each week, and test for over 120 contaminants each year. This report includes the results of those tests for 2003. In 2003, MWRA met every standard except for lead. Lead is not in the source water but can enter through some household plumbing, and therefore, some homes in the MWRA service area may have higher levels of lead levels in their drinking water. Lead can pose a significant risk to your health. Please read the following report for more information on lead in tap water and to learn what MWRA is doing to get the lead out.
