Welcome
The Sunderland Water District was established in 1950. We’re proud to serve great quality water to the people who live and work in Sunderland. In the last four annual Mass Rural Water taste tests our water has placed in the top three, winning twice!
About
The Sunderland Water District is a municipal water district, separate from the Town of Sunderland, and overseen by three elected water commissioners. Two aquifers source our water at two well sites, producing over 124 million gallons a year. Two storage tanks allow for 750,000 gallons of reserve water capacity to be distributed across 26 miles of water mains and nearly 900 services. Watch the video below for an enjoyable history and tour of the District!

System Mapping
With the assistance of the Mass Rural Water Association (MassRWA), the Water District is in the process of mapping our entire water system using GPS. By collecting precise location data for pipes, valves, hydrants, and other infrastructure, we are creating an accurate digital map of the system. This mapping improves our ability to quickly locate and operate equipment during repairs, emergencies, or maintenance, which can reduce service disruptions and response times. It also helps us better plan future upgrades and identify potential issues before they become problems. Ultimately, this effort will lead to a more efficient, reliable water system and improved service for our customers.
