In recognition of National Drinking Water Week, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection announced on May 13 that 49 public water systems, four certified operators, and one child care center received awards for public water service in 2024.
Awards were given based on demonstrated outstanding water service, an absence of violations or compliance issues, and support for the overall public water supply.
The awards were announced at a ceremony at the Devens Community Center in Devens.
Awards categories included Non-Transient Non-Community Systems, Small Community Systems, Medium and Large Community Systems, Consecutive Systems, Water Conservation Awards, Energy Conservation Award, and the STAR L Award for lead reduction actions within a system.
The MassDEP also awarded regional recognitions and distinguished operator awards within each of the department’s four regions.
