Every drop of water in Stoneham arrives wholesale from the MWRA; the town owns nothing upstream of the master meter and maintains roughly eighty miles of main and 6,100 service connections behind it. Much of the pipe Stoneham has been pulling out was originally installed in the 1930s and 1940s and had heavy iron and mineral buildup inside it, which is why the DPW has also been cleaning and cement-lining older mains rather than only replacing them. On lead, Stoneham is unusually clear-cut: the town identified fifteen homes with lead services, removed all fifteen, and reports that no lead services remain in the distribution system. That means lead at a Stoneham tap is a fixture, solder or brass question inside the house, not a service-line question in the street.

Stoneham purchases all of its water directly from the MWRA and its Water Department maintains a network of nearly eighty miles of water mains.
Sets the correct mental model for a homeowner with low pressure or discoloured water: the problem is either the town's main or their own piping — there is no local well or treatment plant to blame.
In a single reporting year Stoneham replaced over 21,275 linear feet of water main. The majority of the pipe replaced was originally installed in the 1930s and 1940s and had significant buildup of iron and mineral deposits; replacing it was expected to lessen water discoloration and decrease water main breaks.
Dates the vintage of pipe still in the ground and in many houses of the same era, and explains recurring rusty-water and main-break calls in specific streets.
A 12-inch water main on Main Street from Elm Street to Maple Street was cleaned to remove pipe tuberculation and lined to prevent further pipe corrosion.
Concrete evidence that tuberculation is an active, named problem in Stoneham's system — useful when diagnosing whether a pressure complaint is house-side or street-side.
Stoneham identified 15 homes that had lead services and removed all of them from the distribution system; after that removal no lead services remain in the town's distribution system. The 90th percentile lead level in Stoneham tap testing was 2.09 parts per billion, against a MassDEP action level of 15 ppb.
Lets a Stoneham page answer the lead question honestly and specifically, and redirects the homeowner's concern to interior solder, brass fixtures and old shutoffs — which is work a plumber actually performs.
