The Water source is the Quabbin Reservoir and is chlorinated using Sodium Hypochlorite at the Ware treatment facility located on Route 9 in Ware.
The water is then treated for Corrosion Control using Sodium Silicate at the District's Ludlow Treatment Facility located at 444 Fuller St.,Ludlow. Sodium Silicate raises the ph of the water making it less aggressive and also provides a microscopic coating on the inside of the water mains and household plumbing systems in order to comply with the federally mandated Lead and Copper Rule.
