Our mission
Cohasset Water Watch exists to make water quality information accessible to every household in town. The Water Department publishes a Consumer Confidence Report once a year, and MassDEP and EPA run their own monitoring and compliance programs on rolling schedules — but that data is scattered, dense, and written for regulators, not residents.
We collect it, check it against public health standards, and put it in one place, in language anyone can read in five minutes.
How we started
The group came together informally after a handful of Cohasset residents started comparing notes on why different sources described the town's PFAS testing history so differently — one saying the system was solidly within the state standard, another showing a past reading above it. What began as a shared spreadsheet turned into this site: a standing, volunteer-run effort to keep tabs on the Cohasset Water Department's own system and flag anything worth a second look.
