WATER/SEWER DEPARTMENT

The Water/Sewer Department is responsible for the operation, maintenance and administration of the town water system and sanitary sewer collection system.

Our water comes from the water treated at the Quittacas Water Treatment Plant for the City of New Bedford which comes from a surface supply comprised of five ponds.

Sewerage is pumped to the Town of New Bedford waste water treatment plant for treatment and disposal.

Water/Sewer bills are sent out quarterly by the DPW staff and are collected by the Town's Treasurer/Collector at the Town Hall.
