Propane

Propane water heaters

About 11% of West Bridgewater homes heat with propane, plus about 43% with natural gas and 39% with oil. A propane water heater works much like a gas one, but it uses parts set up for propane, and it stops when the tank runs dry.

If a propane heater won't light, check the tank gauge first. After a refill, the pilot often has to be relit, and air in the line can take a few tries to clear.

Well water

Every drop from wells

The town's 2025 water report says all of its water is well water, from seven wells on Cyr Street, Norman Avenue and Manley Street. The town upgraded the Manley Street plant with new iron and manganese removal and PFAS treatment, and is building an iron and manganese plant for Cyr Street and Norman Avenue due in mid-2027. Homes on Turnpike Street and Renker Drive get Easton's water instead.

Winter

The coldest station we track here

NOAA's Bridgewater station averages about 141 nights a year at or below freezing and January lows near 17°F, the coldest of the South Shore stations we use. Cold incoming water means longer burns and more strain on tired parts.
