Peabody runs its own water system rather than buying from the MWRA: the Robert J. Walsh and Winona plants supplied 82% of the city's water, with MWRA covering the other 18% as supplemental supply. Secondary disinfection here is monochloramine rather than free chlorine, which changes what point-of-use filtration actually removes. The city has published its lead service line inventory and is building a replacement programme aimed at removing every lead service line in the system within five years — it replaces the city-owned portion and offers the homeowner's portion at the owner's expense, and is required to replace its side if a homeowner notifies it that the private side is being replaced. With 21.8% of Peabody's housing built before 1940, service-line material is a live question on a large share of addresses.

Peabody's water treatment uses free chlorine for primary disinfection and monochloramine for secondary disinfection to control biological activity in the distribution system.
The Peabody Water Department has published its Lead Service Line Inventory and is developing a Lead Service Line Replacement Program with the goal of removing all lead service lines in the water system within five years; 21 lead goosenecks have been removed to date. While replacing the Peabody-owned portion, replacement of the homeowner's portion is offered at the homeowner's expense, and the department is required to replace its portion if the homeowner notifies it that the homeowner side is being replaced (978-536-7121). Properties with lead, galvanized-requiring-replacement or unknown service lines were mailed a letter in November 2024.
