Source Water Infrastructure and Properties
Cambridge water is supplied from the Stony Brook Watershed, nested within the Charles River Basin, in the towns of Lincoln, Lexington, Weston, and the City of Waltham. The water makes its way through tributaries and a series of reservoirs to its final destination in Fresh Pond Reservoir. To manage this process, the City of Cambridge owns extensive infrastructure and properties throughout the watershed that are crucial to supplying our daily water demand to Fresh Pond Reservoir.
