Call now, 24/7(401) 740-0002A city water department and three surface-water sources
Reservoirs, a pond and a river
The Attleboro Water Department draws from three active surface sources: Manchester Reservoir, Orr’s Pond and the Wading River. Water from the Hoppin Hill Reservoir in North Attleboro can also flow down through the Seven Mile River system and be pumped to Manchester Reservoir or Orr’s Pond. The same system supplies parts of North Attleboro and Mansfield.
Hardness is reported on the soft side. Confirm the current figure in the department’s annual water quality report or by calling the department, since a number for your street beats a general statement. Soft supply means less crust in a heater, but it does not rule out sediment from other sources, so a noisy tank still deserves a look from water heater repair.
| Item | What to know | Where to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier | Attleboro Water Department | Your water bill |
| Source type | Surface water, not wells | Annual water quality report |
| Hardness | Reported soft; confirm | Water Department |
| Shared system | Parts of North Attleboro and Mansfield | Check your own bill |
City water or a private well?
Not every address in a city this size is necessarily on the municipal main, and some homes near the edges may have other arrangements. If your bill has no water line item, say so when you call. A private well changes the plan for a pump failure and for water treatment. Read water filtration if taste or smell is your concern.
- A water bill from the cityProbably on the municipal main.
- No bill, a pressure tank in the basementLikely a private well.
- A shared line with a neighborAsk who owns which section.
- A meter pit at the streetTypical of city service.
Attleboro runs its own treatment plant, and septage goes there too
A city plant that also takes septage
The City of Attleboro owns a wastewater treatment plant, and septage hauled from septic systems in neighboring Seekonk is disposed of there. That tells you septic systems exist in the area. Whether your own house is on the sewer or on a tank varies by address, so check your bill for a sewer charge or ask the city.
Homes on the sewer need to know where their own pipe ends. A sewer camera inspection shows the line, and sewer line repair or trenchless sewer repair follows if the pipe has failed. Homes on septic have a different set of warning signs.
| Setup | Common warning signs | First step |
|---|---|---|
| City sewer | Gurgling, slow drains in several places, odor at a cleanout | Camera inspection |
| Septic tank | Soggy lawn over the tank, slow drains, alarm or smell | Call, and avoid driving over the area |
| Shared lateral | Both houses affected at once | Call with both addresses |
| Unknown | No sewer line on the bill | Ask the city or the previous owner |
Flow that crosses town lines
Attleboro and North Attleboro have an agreement under which each plant takes flow from a few homes on the other side of the line. For most households that is background, but it explains why a call about the street side of the sewer sometimes needs to start with the right town. The North Attleboro page covers that side of the line.
Find your sewer charge
Look at the bill or ask the city.
Locate the cleanout
Usually a capped pipe in the basement or yard.
Describe the pattern
Which drains, in what order, when.
Schedule a look
A camera shows what the pipe really holds.
Why sump pumps matter in the weeks after heavy rain
A pump that works until you need it
Many New England basements have a pit with a pump. It sits idle for weeks and then has to run for hours during a spring thaw or a nor’easter. Common failures are a float that sticks, a check valve that lets water drain back, a switch worn from age and a discharge line that freezes or clogs. Power outages during storms are the other risk, which is why some homes add a battery backup.
Our sump pump repair page covers the repairs. If water is already on the floor, the steps on the burst pipe guide also apply: shut off the supply, keep power away from standing water, and call.
| Pump symptom | Likely cause | Try first |
|---|---|---|
| Hums, does not pump | Jammed impeller or stuck switch | Unplug, lift, clear debris |
| Runs constantly | Stuck float or a bad check valve | Check the float arm |
| Never starts | Dead switch or no power | Test the outlet |
| Water returns after it stops | Check valve failed | Call for replacement |
Before the storm
A few minutes of testing beats a flooded basement. Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch the pump start and the level fall. Look at where the discharge pipe ends outside and make sure it is clear.
- Pour testFill the pit and watch the cycle.
- Discharge outlet clearNot buried in snow or leaves.
- Power outlet testedA GFCI that tripped looks like a dead pump.
- Battery backup chargedIf one is installed, check the light.
Repair or replace: the choices owners face
Where the money question tends to sit
With about two thirds of Attleboro homes owner-occupied, most calls end with the owner choosing between fixing and replacing. The usual candidates are the water heater, a drain line, a sump pump or a section of supply pipe. The guide on water heater repair versus replacement lays out the logic, and how long a water heater lasts covers age.
Where the same pipe keeps leaking, the better question is how long the rest of the run has. Pipe repair fixes a section, and repiping replaces the run.
| Item | Lean toward repair if | Lean toward replacement if |
|---|---|---|
| Water heater | Young tank, small part | Leaking shell, rusty water, old tank |
| Sump pump | Switch or float only | Old unit, burnt motor |
| Drain line | One clog, clear pipe | Cracked, offset or root-filled |
| Supply pipe | One failed joint | Repeated leaks in the same run |
Cold-weather risks
Frozen hose bibs, exposed basement pipes and crawl space runs are the usual winter casualties. The guide to preventing and thawing frozen pipes shows the safe order, and a split pipe is a burst pipe repair call.
- Disconnect hosesBefore the first hard freeze.
- Shut the inside valve to outside spigotsThen drain the line.
- Insulate exposed runsFoam sleeves are easy to fit.
- Know your main valveTest it now.
