Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

The Adams Fire District, which supplies the town's roughly 7,800 water customers, reports all contaminants within safe levels and no current violations. This is distinct from neighboring North Adams, whose water department has had documented PFOA detections slightly above the EPA MCL; that issue is specific to North Adams' own utility, not Adams'. Given the confirmed clean local report, a low baseline score is used.
