Adams Fire District/ Water Department

The Adams Fire District as now constituted was originally created by act of the State Legislature as, "The South Adams Fire District" by Acts and Resolves of 1873, Chapter 197; later changed to the "Adams Fire District" by the Acts of 1892, Chapter 222. The Act was for "Supplying South Adams with Pure Water". The Adams Fire District has always supplied the territory comprising the District with Water, Fire Protection and Street lights.
