Our mission
Pembroke Water Watch exists to make water quality information accessible to every household in town. The Water Division publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report and the EPA runs monitoring programs like UCMR5 on rolling schedules, but that data is scattered across town, state, and federal sites — and it doesn't always agree with itself.
We collect it, compare it across sources, and put it in one place, in language anyone can read in five minutes.
How we started
The group came together informally after a handful of Pembroke residents — tired of finding their tap water running the color of tea after every water-main flush — started comparing notes on what the town was actually saying versus what public EPA data showed. What began as a shared thread turned into this site: a standing, volunteer-run effort to keep tabs on the Pembroke Water Division and flag anything worth a second look.
