Water comes from Middleton Water Dept.
Middleton Water Dept. supplies Middleton: about 96% of residents live in its service area. About 4% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Danvers Water Dept. as seller) and serves 7,291 people in all.
2 health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026: disinfection byproducts (TTHM) ×2, the latest beginning Jul 2025. 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people had none.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2022–Dec 2024, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 3.0 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
