Lexington is a fully MWRA town: virtually every dwelling drinks Quabbin water delivered through four metered connections and 158 miles of main. That water is soft — about 12 mg/L, under one grain per gallon — so hard-water scale is rarely what shortens a water heater's life here. What does matter is the pipe between the street and the house. The DPW runs a lead water service replacement program, notes that lead was not used for water services or household pipe after roughly World War II, and says that while most homes of that era either never had lead or have since been replaced, a small number of lead services remain in place.

Lexington's DPW states the water it supplies contains no lead; any lead at the tap comes from household plumbing, lead solder, or a lead water service running from the foundation to the main. Lead has not been used for water services or household pipes since before World War II, and a small number of lead services remain in place.
Gives a homeowner in a pre-war Lexington house a precise reason to have the service line identified, and correctly locates the risk on the customer side rather than in the town's water.
Lexington maintains an ongoing lead service replacement program, established when more than one home tested above the lead action level; the town has since passed its last ten lead sampling rounds and is no longer mandated by MassDEP to maintain the program but continues to administer it.
There is a live town program a homeowner can call about, which makes service-line replacement a concrete next step rather than an abstract worry.
The Water & Sewer Division runs a cross-connection control program and employs three State Certified Backflow Testers and Cross Connection Surveyors.
Backflow device testing in Lexington is an active municipal program with town-side inspectors, so irrigation systems and boiler fills carry a real recurring compliance obligation.
21.3% of housing in Lexington was built before 1940 (2,699 of 12,672 units, ACS 2019-2023 5-year).
Pre-war stock is where galvanized supply, cast-iron waste and undersized services still turn up.
