COVID-19 UPDATES
Maintaining water service is essential to public health and safety, and protecting the health of our water operators and customers is our highest priority. LWD leadership has been following the developments of COVID-19 and implementing continuity of operations plans to make sure the water keeps flowing through this unprecedented situation. Stay healthy and be safe.
January 11, 2021 - In response to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases throughout the Commonwealth, the Town of Lincoln has modified the service delivery of essential departments.
The Water Department Office is closed to the public, but office staff continue to work remotely and can be reached by phone or email during office hours.
The Water Treatment Plant remains fully staffed and operators remain onsite and available to address emergency service delivery issues.

Mission
It is the mission of the Lincoln Water Department to provide our customers with a safe drinking water supply, water for fire protection, and an adequate supply of water for our essential daily needs. The department strives to supply high quality water to its customers that meets or exceeds all federal, state, and local requirements. This is accomplished, in part, by maintaining the Flint’s Pond watershed and the Tower Road well groundwater recharge area. Our goal is to produce and distribute our product in the most efficient way, while maintaining and upgrading the system to meet future requirements.
