There is a town well, known as the Abbot Well, at 38 Andover Street, just north of Phil's Roast Beef.  It is located in a small brick building. The entrance is via the driveway between the building and the house next door. Spring water is available for Andover residents.  
The Ballardvale Historic District Commission established by the town in 1995 to preserve Ballardvale. According to Chapter 40C of the Massachusetts General Laws its mission is to:
*To preserve and protect the distinctive characteristics of the buildings and places significant to the history of the Commonwealth’s cities and towns.
*To maintain and improve the settings of those buildings and places.
*To encourage compatibility with existing buildings when new buildings are planned within the district."


The well was built circa 1957 with about 400' of pipe.  It was taken out of the public water supply system in 1976.
The regulations for changes to buildings in Ballardvale are clearly defined in the *Rules Regulations and Procedures of BVHDC".
