The Town’s Waterlines are Lease Managed by ECWA What does that mean? The Town of Boston entered into Lease-Management Agreements with ECWA for District 1 and 2 back in 1986 Since then: Town: Owns the Infrastructure (pipes in the ground, water towers, pump stations, and all related mechanical pieces). The Town has to pay for repairs/replacements because it owns the infrastructure. ECWA: Operates, maintains, and ensures that the system works. They handle tasks like pumping, monitoring flow, repairs, and compliance with regulations. On the day to day, they handle water main breaks. At least yearly, they notify the town of what systems need replacement and where the most breaks have been occurring. Additionally, they supply the water and bill the resident for each parcel’s individual water usage. 111
