Wenham is not an MWRA community. The Wenham Water Department supplies the town from two gravel-packed wells roughly 50 feet deep off Pleasant Street, drawing from the Great Wenham Swamp, pumped into a 750,000-gallon tank on Lord's Hill and a 600,000-gallon tank at the Iron Rail property, then out through more than 27 miles of mains. Any water-chemistry figure for a Wenham home has to come from the town's own Consumer Confidence Reports, published for 2012 through 2024, alongside the Water Department's PFAS page. Permits are issued by the Wenham Building Department, which staffs a Plumbing and Gas Inspector and takes applications and payment online.

Wenham does NOT appear on MWRA's customer communities list — it is not an MWRA community for water or sewer. The Wenham Water Department is the drinking water supplier, drawing from two gravel-packed wells approximately 50 feet deep located off Pleasant Street, which draw from the Great Wenham Swamp (backwaters to the Ipswich River). Water is pumped into a 750,000 gallon storage tank on "Lord's Hill" and a 600,000 gallon tank at the Iron Rail property, then through over 27 miles of water mains.
Wenham runs its own groundwater supply, so MWRA's system chemistry does NOT apply here. This is the one comparison that IS swap-proof — Wenham water is not Waltham/Watertown water. Never carry an MWRA hardness figure onto a Wenham page. Publish supplier identity only; any Wenham-specific chemistry must come from Wenham's own Consumer Confidence Report.
Wenham publishes annual Consumer Confidence Reports (Water Quality Reports) covering 2012 through 2024 in its online Archive Center, and maintains a dedicated PFAS page stating the Department tests for over 30 regulated contaminants.
This is the ONLY legitimate source for any Wenham-specific water chemistry figure (hardness, pH, iron, manganese). If a water-treatment or water-heater page needs a number for Wenham, it must be pulled from the current CCR and cited — not inferred from MWRA.
The Wenham Building Department enforces "248 CMR: Plumbing and Fuel Gas Code" among its listed codes, and staffs a Plumbing and Gas Inspector and an Inspector of Wires. The Town offers online application and payment for building, electrical, gas, plumbing and mechanical permits through a public access portal.
Names the local permit authority and confirms online permitting is available in Wenham — a practical scheduling advantage worth stating. The statewide 248 CMR invariant belongs on the trade hub, not repeated on this page.
19.6% of housing in Wenham was built before 1940 (272 of 1,390 units, ACS 2019-2023 5-year).
Pre-war stock is where galvanized supply, cast-iron waste and undersized services still turn up.
