Delivering high quality drinking water to the residents of a town or city necessitates a robust water management system to ensure the health and safety of its residents. Our report investigates the challenges faced by the water supply districts in the Town of Leicester, Massachusetts. By working together with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the Town of Leicester, our goal was to analyze the feasibility of incorporating a collaborative water management system in the Town of Leicester to help alleviate issues of water quality and quantity. In our report, we provide recommendations for the Town of Leicester, its water districts and the Moose Hill Commission on how to collaborate to help Leicester with its current and future water needs.
