  • Iron & manganeseCommon in local wells

    Glacial sand and gravel aquifers deliver both. Manganese stains laundry from just 0.05 mg/L.

  • ArsenicPresent in area bedrock

    Bedrock wells here are tested for arsenic against the 10 ppb limit as a matter of routine.

Local detail

What we see in Essex County

  • Boxford, Topsfield, Georgetown and Middleton have heavy private well populations where arsenic and manganese both need checking.
  • Coastal wells see salt intrusion and elevated chloride — worth testing for specifically if you're near the water.
  • Merrimack Valley mill housing adds an in-building lead question on top of whatever the supply brings.

These are patterns across the area, not a reading from your property. Bedrock, well depth and your own plumbing all move the numbers house to house.
