North Andover's sewers drain in three divisions — East Side, West Side and Central — through 20 town-owned pump stations to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District plant, which is physically located in North Andover and also treats Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, Dracut and Salem, New Hampshire. GLSD's nine miles of large gravity interceptors carry an average of about 30 million gallons a day, and the district states that a large percentage of that flow is rain and groundwater leaking into member communities' sewers, which can overburden the treatment facility during large storms. Parts of the town remain on private septic, and the Lake Cochichewick watershed carries a protection overlay district created after septic systems and stormwater runoff were implicated in the 1986 giardia contamination that forced the town to build its treatment plant.

The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District collects and treats wastewater for six member communities — Lawrence, Methuen, North Andover, Andover, Dracut and Salem, New Hampshire — and has housed its main facility in North Andover since 1977.
GLSD's nine miles of large gravity interceptors convey an average daily flow of 30 MGD from the six member communities' sewer systems, and on an annual basis a large percentage of that flow is extraneous rain and groundwater leaking into the sewer system; during large storms that extraneous water can overburden the treatment facility. GLSD identifies inflow sources as roof drain downspouts, foundation drains, storm drain cross-connections, combined sewers and holes in manhole covers.
By 1986, years of polluted runoff into Lake Cochichewick from house construction, septic systems and stormwater resulted in the discovery of giardia in the lake, a state boil-water order, and a requirement that the town build a new water treatment plant at a cost of $19.9 million. A Watershed Protection Overlay District was subsequently created that restricts certain uses and activities in the watershed.
North Andover's water quality report states that the town is comprised of a sewer collection piping system directed to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District, and that in some areas of town homes may have a private septic system; the town operates 20 sewer pump stations.
