Swampscott plumbing systems
Seventy percent of the pipes in Swampscott's water distribution system are over fifty years old, with approximately sixty percent unlined cast iron pipe. Unlined pipe allows tuberculation (rust) to accumulate on the inside surfaces, which can affect the pipe's ability to carry flows for firefighting and can affect the appearance of the water — yellow or red discoloration.
Swampscott's distribution system is approximately 57 miles of water main ranging from 6 to 16 inches, with 473 hydrants and roughly 1,400 gate valves, fed by two MWRA master meters (PWS ID 3291000).
A 2022 town-wide leak detection survey located seven leaks representing an estimated loss of approximately 204,480 gallons per day, or 74.6 million gallons per year if left unrepaired.
MWRA water contains no lead; Swampscott's 90th percentile lead result in annual tap testing of twenty homes was 6.30 ppb, well below the 15 ppb action level, and the Town attributes any lead present to home plumbing such as lead solder or older brass fixtures.
