The Town of Burlington’s goal is to produce
the highest quality drinking water for all its customers.
To maintain our commitment to you, we routinely collect and test water samples
every step of the way, from the source waters right to your home, checking
for purity and identifying potential problems. A yearly Water
Quality report is produced and sent to all residents in the town
of Burlington, this report is also available at several locations through
out the town. You may pick up a copy at the Vine Brook Water Treatment Plant
on Middlesex Turnpike, the Town Hall or the Library.
Where does my water come from?
The Town of Burlington’s drinking water system contains two separate
water treatment plants drawing water from both surface and ground water sources.
The Mill Pond Water Treatment Plant treats water from the Mill Pond reservoir.
The Mill Pond Treatment Plant has the capacity to treat up to 6 million gallons
of water per day. The Vine Brook Water Treatment Plant(above) treats water
from seven ground wells located with in the Vine Brook Aquifer. The Vine Brook
Water Treatment Plant has the capacity to treat 3.3 million gallons of water
per day.
Both plants filter and clarify the water to remove contaminants, and provide
fluoridation, corrosion control and disinfection.
We are located at 171 Middlesex Turnpike, around the corner from the Sub-Station Fire Department. Look for our sign.
Awards
In 2001, the Town of Burlington won a “Certificate of
Recognition” for our fluoridation program from the Massachusetts Dental
Society.
