Aquifer

Water from the Plymouth-Carver aquifer

According to South Shore News' review of the town's water report, Duxbury draws its water from twelve wells, ten of them now in service, in the sandy ground of the Plymouth-Carver aquifer.

We haven't found a published hardness figure for Duxbury, so we won't guess one. Any well water leaves some sediment in a tank over the years. Popping or rumbling is the usual sign, and a flush often helps a younger tank.

Homeowners

Planning a replacement on your terms

About 91% of Duxbury homes are owner-occupied, and the median home dates from 1976. If your heater is over 10 years old, it's worth getting it looked at before it fails. A planned replacement costs less stress than a flooded basement.

Fuel

Mostly gas, a lot of oil

About 56% of Duxbury homes heat with gas and 27% with oil. The state's gas provider map lists Eversource for Duxbury. NOAA's Plymouth-Kingston station averages about 120 freezing nights a year, with January lows near 22°F.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Duxbury homes

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.

  3. Gas smell? Eversource serves Duxbury. Leave the house, call 911 from outside, then report it to Eversource's gas emergency line.
