North Andover treats its own water from Lake Cochichewick, and the finished water is soft and lightly buffered — total hardness measured 35.1 ppm as calcium carbonate and total alkalinity 23 ppm in 2025, at pH 7.38. Water that soft does not scale fixtures, which is why the treatment plant doses zinc orthophosphate as a corrosion inhibitor before the water leaves the building. Cast iron main was installed across town from 1898 to 1945, and the town's capital plan is still funding water main replacement alongside lead service line replacement. Part of the town is sewered to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District and part is still on private septic, so the same street can present two completely different drainage problems.

North Andover's 2025 water quality report lists total hardness at 35.1 ppm as CaCO3 (range 34.4-36.4), total alkalinity 23 ppm (range 18-27), pH 7.38, total dissolved solids 180 ppm and chloride 80.5 ppm.
Zinc orthophosphate, a corrosion inhibitor, is added to the finished water as it leaves the North Andover plant specifically to protect the linings of distribution system pipes. Zinc was detected at 0.62 ppm in 2025 (SMCL 5 ppm), attributed to corrosion of household plumbing.
Cast iron water main was installed throughout North Andover from 1898 to 1945; the town's water quality report described its main-replacement programme as having virtually eliminated unlined cast iron except under two railroad crossings. In 2023 the Select Board approved $750,000 in ARPA funding to clean and structurally line an 8-inch cast iron water main installed in 1898 under the railroad tracks at Sutton Street.
North Andover's FY2027 capital improvement plan calls for $800,000 to address lead service line replacements and water main replacements; the May 2025 Annual Town Meeting approved $1,750,000 for a lead service line replacement, water distribution system improvements, sewer pump station improvements and sewer collection system improvements.
