Currently, water supplier data required by the Water Management Act and reported to the MA DEP through Annual Statistical Reports is available only by visiting a DEP office and photocopying the paper reports.  While DEP maintains some usage data in electronic format, these data are not available online, and DEP staff do not maintain historical data.
