Where a Newbury house sits decides almost everything about its plumbing. The town's own housing plan states that public drinking water arrives three different ways — the Byfield Water District, the City of Newburyport Water Department, or a private well — and that public sewer reaches only Plum Island and sections of Old Town. Byfield and most of the rest of town run on individual Title 5 septic systems, and the Parker River watershed that feeds both the Byfield district and the private wells has been under drought conditions and water restrictions in recent years. On Plum Island, connection to the municipal water main was made mandatory by a 2003 special act of the Legislature, and the island's buried pipe has a documented corrosion history.

Public drinking water in Newbury is provided through the Byfield Water District, the City of Newburyport Water Department, or private wells; the Parker River Watershed that supplies the Byfield district and private wells has faced extreme drought conditions and water restrictions in recent years.
The Byfield Water District Commissioners have declared a state of water conservation effective May 1, 2026, and the district maintains an active Lead and Copper sampling plan with results posted publicly.
Under Chapter 103 of the Acts of 2003, owners of all water-using buildings in the Plum Island Service Area (in both Newbury and Newburyport) were required to connect to the municipal water distribution system within 60 days of written notice from the town or city.
After a 2011 water main break, an Inspector General and Attorney General investigation found that ductile iron pipe on Plum Island's system had not been wrapped in polyethylene as specified and was severely corroded; the design engineer paid $5.5 million in settlement, $5.3 million of it into a trust for repair and optimization of Plum Island's water and sewer systems.
