Iron

Iron, manganese and your tank

The town's water division runs five municipal wells and two greensand filtration plants, a type of filter used to take out iron and manganese. Some iron or manganese that gets past treatment, or that's already in old pipes, can settle in a water heater as dark sediment.

If your hot water looks rusty or black, flush the tank. If it doesn't clear, or the cold water looks fine and only the hot is off, the tank or its anode rod may be the problem.

Oil heat

Oil-fired hot water

About 40% of East Bridgewater homes heat with oil. Many make hot water through the boiler instead of a separate heater, either with a coil inside the boiler or an indirect tank beside it. When the hot water fails, the boiler's controls and circulator are part of the check.

Winter

Cold Plymouth County nights

NOAA's Bridgewater station averages about 141 nights a year at or below freezing and January lows near 17°F. The colder the water coming in, the harder any heater works.
