Our mission
Duxbury Water Watch exists to make water quality information accessible to every household in town. The Water Department publishes a Consumer Confidence Report once a year, Water and Sewer Advisory Board meetings surface new PFAS testing results on their own schedule, and the town's capital planning for treatment plants moves through Town Meeting warrants that most residents never see — but none of it is gathered in one place written with an ordinary resident in mind.
We collect it, check it against state and federal guidelines, and put it in one place, in language anyone can read in five minutes.
How we started
This began with a handful of Duxbury residents trying to make sense of conflicting things they'd heard about the town's water — that the system had "zero violations," and also that a well down the street had just been recommended for shutdown. Both things turned out to be true, depending on how you count it. What started as a shared spreadsheet turned into this site: a standing effort to track the town's wells, its PFAS treatment timeline, and the Marshfield connection, and to flag plainly what's actually changing.
