Medford plumbing systems
MWRA lists Medford as a "Water and Sewer" community. Medford's DPW maintains the local distribution network of pipes, valves, hydrants and service lines that takes water from the MWRA system and delivers it to homes.
Medford's water-side boundary differs from its sewer-side boundary and depends on pipe diameter: residential owners are responsible for water service laterals one inch or smaller "from the meter to the sidewalk shutoff valve," with the City responsible from the shutoff valve to the main. Residential owners with a lateral GREATER than one inch are responsible all the way "from the meter to, and including, the connection to the public main."
Medford's regulations set utility separation distances: "Water service pipes must have a minimum ten (10) foot horizontal, and minimum eighteen (18) inch vertical separation from sewer pipes, and a minimum five (5) foot separation from gas pipes," and water service pipes shall not share a trench with gas pipes, electric conduits, sewers or drains except with prior approval of the Commissioner.
Medford exceeded the lead action level in Fall 2025 monitoring, reporting 0.0155 mg/L (15.5 ppb) against the 0.015 mg/L action level from 20 samples collected July 1 to October 31, 2025. Medford's 2023 MWRA community report states the City still had 7,879 full and partial lead service lines and offers homeowners a rebate toward residential lead service line replacement; check with the City for current amounts.
