Assonet Water Smelling Musty?

Concerned about the musty smell of your water in Assonet?

We purchase water from the City of Fall River who supplies water from the North Watuppa Pond. Each spring the pond experiences an annual churning...warm surface water sinks and cool bottom water surfaces based on thermal activity...this causes that musty smell. This typically lasts about a month. While Fall River does treat water for bacteria and other natural elements it does not treat for smell or taste.

Your water is disinfected, tested daily, and is completely safe.

If you have any questions, please contact the Water & Sewer Commission at 508-644-4000.
