Rowley is a groundwater town from end to end. The Water Department pumps from three well sources and treats for manganese, iron and corrosion control, and every property not on a town main draws from a private well permitted by the Board of Health. Since 2024, Well #2 on Haverhill Street has been out of service on a PFAS exceedance, leaving the Pingree Farm Road plant as the system's only point of entry. The Department has also said publicly that it is identifying old lead joints in the water mains for replacement under its capital program.

Rowley's water sources are Well #2 (435 Haverhill Street), Well #3 (127 Boxford Road) and Well #5 (64 Pingree Farm Road, a field of six wells). Wells 3 and 5 are treated and filtered at the Pingree Farm Road plant; Well #2 is treated with chlorine, sodium hydroxide and phosphate but is not filtered through the plant.
Which source feeds a given Rowley address changes what the water is doing to fixtures, water heaters and appliances.
Well #2 returned a quarterly PFAS6 result of 23 ppt against MassDEP's 20 ppt standard and was shut down; with Well #2 offline the Pingree Farm Road plant is currently the system's sole point of entry, and RWD has $1,500,000 in grant funding toward a pilot treatment system (granular activated carbon or ion exchange) at the site.
Rowley homeowners asking about point-of-use filtration are asking a live local question, not a hypothetical one.
Treatment includes sodium hypochlorite for disinfection, potassium permanganate for manganese removal, ortho-polyphosphate to sequester iron, and sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment and corrosion control.
Manganese and iron sequestration explains the discoloured-water and fixture-staining complaints Rowley homeowners actually call about.
After June 2015 monitoring showed elevated lead in some homes, Rowley installed corrosion control treatment at the Alexander Good Water Filtration Plant and at Well #2, and states it is 'in the process of identifying the old lead joints in the system… These lead joints will need to be replaced as part of our Capital Improvement program over the next several years.'
Lead in Rowley is framed by the utility as a joint-and-service-line issue in the mains, which is what a homeowner should have checked before assuming it is their interior piping.
