Beverly drinks reservoir water, not well water, and the Salem and Beverly Water Supply Board holds corrosion in check by adjusting pH and dosing a phosphate additive rather than by mineral hardness. The City's own water regulations are specific about what goes in the ground: every domestic water service from 1 inch to 2 inches must be entirely Type K copper, 4 inch and larger must be Class 52 cement-lined ductile iron, and plastic is considered only case by case — with a Water or Engineering Department inspection required before backfill. Road salt shows in the finished water, which tested 53 ppm sodium in 2025 against MassDEP's 20 ppm guideline, and manganese came in at 46 ppb against a 50 ppb secondary limit, which is why a water main break in Beverly can put discolored water into a house. With more than a third of Beverly's homes built in 1939 or earlier, most of the pipe behind the wall is older than the regulations governing what replaces it.

Beverly's Rules and Regulations for the Water System require domestic water services from 1" to 2" to be entirely Type K copper; 4" and larger must be Class 52 cement-lined ductile iron; plastic pipe 'may be considered on a case by case basis' and must be rated for 200 psi with stainless sleeves, brass compression fittings and tracer wire. All water construction must be inspected by the Water or Engineering Department prior to backfill, and abandoned or discontinued services must be shut off and capped at the main at the owner's expense.
The 2025 Salem and Beverly Water Supply Board water quality report lists sodium at 53 ppm (single sample) against the MassDEP Office of Research and Standards guideline of 20 ppm, attributed to 'discharge from the use and improper storage of sodium-containing deicing compounds or in water-softening agents.' Manganese measured 46 ppb against a 50 ppb secondary limit, and odor measured 12 T.O.N. against a secondary limit of 3.
The same 2025 report explains that manganese accumulates over time in the pipes serving customers, and that 'flow changes from construction, use of hydrants, and water main breaks can stir up that material and contribute to these temporary events of discolored water,' advising customers to run cold water from the lowest point in the home until it clears.
Under Beverly's Cross Connection Control Program Ordinance (Article XXXI), the property owner bears the cost of testing backflow prevention devices, and failure to pay for two or more billing quarters results in the bill being added to the property tax as a lien. Owners of residential premises with a private well are not allowed any physical cross-connection with the public water supply system.
