The Sherborn Groundwater Protection Committee (GPC) provided an opportunity this past summer for Sherborn residents to have their home well water sampled and tested for the most common contaminants of concern in our area. Homes were selected on a first come, first served basis following an announcement of the free program on the Town website and a call to enroll. The water from 41 Sherborn residential wells was tested at no-cost to the residents. The testing included the following water quality parameters: the presence of coliform bacteria; and the concentrations of: Nitrate and Nitrite, Uranium, Radon, Arsenic, Chloride, Copper, Fluoride, Iron, Lead, Manganese, and Sodium; plus, water Hardness and pH levels.
