Town Facilities (Town Hall, the Transfer Station, and the Rollinsford Public Library) will be closed Monday, July 5th in observance of Independence Day.
The State of Emergency due to the Coronavirus pandemic is set to expire June 11th. It expires every 3 weeks and the Governor has extended it every time for over a year now. This time it is likely the State of Emergency, which authorizes the Town to meet virtually, will not be extended. Therefore, we are planning for meetings to be held again in person starting on June 12th.
Meeting information is posted at the Town Hall, Post Office and on the Town website. From the homepage scroll down and click on “calendar” to see the meetings and links to those that are still virtual.
The Town has not lifted the water restriction imposed last year due to the drought. While the water table has improved some, the State Department of Environmental Services is still encouraging restrictions because the weather forecast looks drier than normal as well as warmer than usual (which promotes dryness). Therefore, there continues to be no residential lawn watering in Town. Fees may be imposed for non-compliance.
If you receive a water bill from the Rollinsford Water Sewer District, you are subject to a stricter water use restriction. Details can be found here: https://rollinsfordwatersewer.org/2021/05/27/mandatory-water-ban-all-outdoor-water-use/

Town Facilities (Library, Town Hall and Transfer Station) will be closed Monday, May 31, 2021 in observance of Memorial Day.
The Town Report is now available for pick up at the Town Office. Copies will be made available at the Deliberative Session. If you have already picked up a Town Report, please know that a correction has been made to the budget. The new budget document can be found on the Town website HERE.
If you have reviewed the Town Report online, it has been corrected to reflect the accurate version of the budget. You can see the CORRECTED TOWN REPORT HERE.
We apologize for the confusion. The correct version of the proposed budget matches the warrant the total of which should read: $2,464,122.
The Deliberative Session is coming up this Thursday and starts at 6:00pm at the American Legion. Masks are required and seats will be spaced in a socially distant manner. If you choose to stand, be sure to keep your distance from others.
We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday to discuss what we will be voting on in June. This is your opportunity to hear your neighbors’ thoughts, let others know how you feel about topics, and potentially vote to change (or not change!) text that will be on the ballot.
Town Report materials are available on the Town’s website. Town Reports will be printed for the Deliberative Session, limited to one per household.
See you all on Thursday!
The Governor announced last week that the state-wide mask mandate would expire, Friday, April 16, 2021. However, the Town policy that requires mask use inside Town facilities remains in effect. So please wear a mask when you visit the Town Hall, Transfer Station, or any other town facility.
The State of Emergency is still in effect. Therefore, Town boards and committees will continue to meet remotely for now.
The Select Board continues to monitor the situation and we let you know when operations change. Until then, we hope you continue to take measures to keep yourself and others safe.
