Nothing about plumbing on Plum Island is optional. A 2003 special act of the Legislature gave every building in the Plum Island Service Area sixty days from written notice to abandon its well and septic system and tie into Newburyport's water main and the island's vacuum sewer, and homeowners are still paying that project off as betterments on their tax bills — thirty years for sewer, twenty for water. The buried metal that carries that water has a documented corrosion history: a 2011 main break exposed ductile iron pipe that had never received its specified polyethylene wrap, and the island's fire hydrants were replaced wholesale a decade after they went in. Bedroom counts are capped here too, so a bathroom addition is a zoning question before it is a plumbing question.

Chapter 103 of the Acts of 2003 compels every building in the Plum Island Service Area that generates wastewater to connect to the common sewer within 60 days of written notice, and every building that uses water to connect to the municipal water system within 60 days of written notice. The same section bars adding bedrooms after connection, except that a pre-existing single-family structure with one or two bedrooms may gain one.
Newburyport Water Works draws from three reservoirs — Indian Hill, Upper Artichoke and Lower Artichoke — plus two Ferry Road wells, with surface water treated at the Spring Lane Water Treatment Plant using coagulation, mixed-media filtration, chlorination, fluoridation, phosphoric acid for corrosion control and caustic soda for pH adjustment. The same service area covers Newburyport, West Newbury and Newbury.
