Groveland has never had a water treatment plant. The department draws from three gravel-packed wells, runs inline chemical treatment with no filtration, and raises system pH with sodium hydroxide to an average of 7.6 — a level it describes as high enough to keep lead and copper from dissolving while still keeping "most of the iron and manganese in solution." The 2024 report shows iron at 473 ppb against a 300 ppb secondary standard and manganese at 112 ppb against 50 ppb, so discolored water, stained fixtures, sediment in aerators and sediment in water heaters are ordinary here rather than unusual. The department also requires a non-testable dual check valve downstream of every meter, which closes the home's plumbing system and makes thermal expansion control a practical necessity.

Groveland's public supply is three gravel-packed wells — Well 1 at 462 Main Street, Well 3 behind the Pines Recreation Area, and Well 4 further down the river — distributed through roughly 36.5 miles of main serving 1,952 active services. Treatment is "inline chemical treatment (no filtration)."
Sodium hydroxide raises system pH to an average of 7.6, which the department states is "high enough to keep the lead and copper from dissolving very much and still keep most of the iron and manganese in solution." 2024/2023 secondary results: iron 473 ppb (SMCL 300, range 109–473), manganese 112 ppb (SMCL 50, range 75–156), sodium 117 ppm, chloride 131 ppm, total dissolved solids 340 ppm, pH 7.75.
The Water Department requires a non-testable dual check valve installed after the water meter on all new and altered water services. Its own Addendum II warns that this "results in a potential closed plumbing system within his residence" and that "provisions may have to be made by the owner to provide for thermal expansion within his closed loop system, i.e., the installation of thermal expansion devices and/or pressure relief valves," and it "strongly recommends the installation of a thermal expansion tank."
Groveland's water service specification: the Water Department taps the main and runs 1" Type K copper to the curb stop; from curb stop to cellar valve the line must be 1" Type K copper or 1" CTS polyethylene (AWWA-approved, rated 200 psi or greater) in one piece with "Absolutely No Fittings"; minimum 5 feet of depth; at least 10 feet away from all sewer lines; inside cellar valve compression or flared only, with "No Solder joint are permitted before the water meter"; a meter pit is required if the dwelling is more than 150' off the road.
