Every property in South Hamilton is on a septic system. Hamilton runs no sanitary sewer anywhere in town, so there is no sewer bill and no municipal main to blame when things back up. Drinking water is municipal, drawn from the town's own Idlewood wellfield and treated at the Pine Tree Drive plant, where iron and manganese are filtered out. The School Street well has been shut off since 2021 over PFAS. On the older village streets — Pine, Chestnut and Walnut — the town is still designing the replacement of asbestos-cement and cast-iron mains that have broken repeatedly.

Hamilton's IDDE Plan states plainly that '100% of the Town is currently served by septic systems.' There is no municipal sanitary sewer, and the DPW's listed divisions are Water, Highway, Building Maintenance, Waste Disposal, Parks and Grounds, and Cemetery — no sewer division.
The School Street Well (source 3119000-02G, behind School St. Park) has been offline since late 2021 because of PFAS, with monthly sampling results between 23.8 and 57 ppt against a 20 ppt MCL. Hamilton received a MassDEP grant in March 2025 and has a conceptual design for a mobile PFAS treatment unit estimated at $700,000.
Hamilton's cross-connection control programme covers 57 Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) devices and 26 Double Check Valve (DC) devices town-wide. The Water Department 'inspect[s] and test[s] each backflow preventer twice per year,' and surveyed 16 facilities in 2025.
Hamilton's plumbing and gas fitting fee schedule charges replacement of fixtures, boilers, heaters, appliances, generators and pool heaters at '$50 + $20.00/item being replaced', gas fitting tied to a building permit at $125, a $45 re-inspection fee, and a $65 minimum. The Plumbing and Gas Fitting Inspector is Kevin Dash, 978-626-5250.
