Getting to know Worcester
Worcester draws its water from ten active reservoirs in Leicester, Paxton, Rutland, Holden and Princeton. The city filters its own water before it reaches homes. Wastewater goes to the Upper Blackstone Clean Water treatment plant.
Building permits are filed through the city's online permit portal, and work can start only after a permit is issued. The state's Mass Save program offers rebates and no-cost home energy assessments. Many older homes heat with boilers feeding radiators.
Nor'easters bring heavy snow and strong winds most winters. Freezing nights in winter can crack exposed pipes and outdoor spigots.

Questions about Worcester
Who supplies water in Worcester?
Worcester runs its own water system, with ten active reservoirs in nearby towns and a city filtration plant. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?

Do repairs in Worcester need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Inspectional Services Department, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Massachusetts licenses plumbers and gas fitters through the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, and licenses can be checked online. Massachusetts licenses electricians through the Board of State Examiners of Electricians, and you can check a license online. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
