The Acton Water District conducts annual sampling for sodium at all wells or water treatment plants (WTPs) that are in operation. The most recent results for treated water entering our distribution system are listed in the table below.

Although sodium does not have a maximum contaminant level, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has a guideline of 20 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for sensitive individuals, such as those on very salt-restricted diets. Sodium levels in drinking water vary considerably from well to well and month to month. For the most accurate data on sodium levels at your home, an individual tap sample would be necessary.
