We provide water to most of the residents and businesses in almost two
thirds of Dracut as well as areas in Tyngsboro. The District has 3 sources
of water – one well field in Dracut, one well field in Tyngsboro and
we purchase supplemental water from the City of Lowell. To deliver the
water we have 3 water storage tanks, 6 booster pump stations, 6 pressure
zones with over 100 miles of mains. Our water system has been in the
process of and continues to upgrade, add and install new water distribution
improvements to better serve you – our customers.

Meter to Main
The Meter to Main Program makes for several happy customers: The District
started offering a program to protect lines running to your property
and into your homes. This plan, for residential customers, is a self-funding
customer account and not part of the budget. It was created to allow
the customers who choose to protect their properties by participating
in this District Plan.
The District charges only items for meter to main repairs and service
calls to this account.
