White Pond is a 58.5 acre[1] lake and reservoir within the towns of Stow and Hudson, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

A nineteenth century writer described White Pond as "a fine sheet of water, situated in a level, sandy section of town, and [it] takes its name from the white, sandy bottom, which gives its hue to the water.

In 1942 the water pipeline to Maynard was replaced with a ten-inch diameter, concrete pipe.

Due to droughts affecting the level of White Pond, in 1964, Maynard acquired a well within the adjacent U.S. Army Reservation (now Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge) to pump water into White Pond when it was low, and in 1972 and 1973 Maynard acquired other wells, the Quirk Wells off Old Marlboro Road.

[4][6] White Pond continued to provide Maynard with drinking water until it was decommissioned in the 1990s because the system required an investment to be updated to comply with the EPA Surface Water Treatment Rule.
