Property Managers | Clean Water, Satisfied Tenants
Overview
Residential water quality testing, treatment, and maintenance are crucial to ensure your tenants and guests have access to clean, quality drinking water.
When your property has a private well serving two or more units, local health regulations may require periodic water quality monitoring and reporting. If contamination is found, you will need to address it with effective water treatment to meet regulatory requirements.
H2O Care is uniquely qualified to help Property Managers and Landlords in managing water testing and reporting requirements, as well as designing treatment solutions that meet the specific needs of any particular location. Additionally, since you may not be on site regularly, H2O Care’s preventative maintenance and testing program allows you to schedule ongoing system maintenance, as well as deliveries of salt and other materials.

Your PFAS Support Team
Environmental Consultants
PFAS Release Investigations and Remediation Projects
H2O Care is involved in multiple PFAS investigation and remediation projects across Massachusetts. We work in partnership with Environmental Engineering and Consulting Firms to bring forward comprehensive solutions for PFAS remediation for private wells. We can help with:
- Coordination and Completion of Residential Well Sampling Activities
- Design and Installation of Treatment Solutions
- Ongoing Sampling and Monitoring of Treatment Effectiveness
- Ongoing Maintenance of Treatment Systems
In some areas, a PFAS release can potentially impact hundreds of private well owners. We are uniquely experienced in the complicated logistics of scheduling sampling with large numbers of homeowners, and are sensitive to the potential personal inconvenience/disruption that in-home sampling can pose.
Your firm may have staff trained in sampling and monitoring wells, stormwater, or surface waters, but our technicians are also familiar with the residential well equipment (pressure tanks, pressure switches, and water quality treatment systems) used in private well systems. We have collected more than 2,000 PFAS samples in over 120 towns in Massachusetts and have installed and maintained hundreds of PFAS treatment systems.
If you are interested in receiving our PFAS Statement of Qualifications or if you have an active PFAS investigation, give us a call—we’d be happy to discuss our qualifications and how we can assist you and the homeowners.
