We have two wells off Route 152 near the Attleboro Town line, two wells in the southwest corner of Town, one well by the Whiting's Pond, and four wells located in Plainville north of Whiting's Pond.

We have three water storage tanks to store water and have it available for emergency fire fighting usage and above average usage on hot summer days.
