Our mission
Hingham Water Watch exists to make water quality information accessible to every household in town. Utilities publish Consumer Confidence Reports once a year, and the EPA runs monitoring programs like UCMR5 on rolling schedules — but that data is scattered, dense, and written for regulators, not residents.
We collect it, check it against federal health guidance, 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 Hingham parents and retired engineers started comparing notes on PFAS testing showing up in EPA's national monitoring data. What began as a shared spreadsheet turned into this site: a standing, volunteer-run effort to keep tabs on the Weir River Water System and flag anything worth a second look.
