MISSION STATEMENT
The Groton Water Department is responsible for the
management and maintenance of Town of Groton's drinking water resources and
the distribution system utilized to convey this resource to residents and
businesses throughout the Town.
The Groton Water Department's mission is to protect
the water resources of the Town, treat the water to ensure that it is safe
and clean, and upgrade and maintain the distribution system. Protection of
the water supply resources minimizes the amount of treatment required and,
in direct relationship, treatment costs.
Continuous upgrading and maintenance of the distribution
system ensures that an adequate supply of drinking water will be available
to consumers now and in the future. The first priority of the Groton Water
Department is to provide an ample supply of safe, clean drinking water to
residents, and businesses, at an affordable price. Additional goals of the
Groton Water Department are to include keeping abreast of newly promulgated
drinking water regulations and technological developments associated with
drinking water supplies, treatment methods, distribution systems and essential
fire protection. Continued education for staff in the field of drinking water
prepares us to meet current and future federal and state drinking water mandates
and to provide for the future water supply needs of the Town of Groton.
