As drought conditions persist and parts of Strafford County, including Rollinsford, have been elevated to “Extreme Drought”, the Rollinsford Water and Sewer District is placing a mandatory water ban on all outdoor water use. The ban is effective immediately and will be in place until conditions improve. Per this ban, the following activities are restricted within the District:
Please be advised that the water use restrictions will be enforced. The first offense will result in a written notice for failure to comply. A second violation will result in a $100 fine. A third violation will result in a $500 fine. If you observe violations to the ban or have any questions, please contact the District office at 603-742-8124 or via email.
Effective September 28, 2020, the Town of Rollinsford is enacting a water restriction prohibiting the watering of residential lawns due to the severe drought conditions that continue throughout most of the State. Parts of Strafford County including Rollinsford are now in an EXTREME drought. All residents within the Town of Rollinsford must comply with Level 3 restrictions found in Ordinance 2016-02 which can be found on the Town website. The Town encourages people to consider other ways to conserve water including not washing vehicles. For more information visit the NH Department of Environmental Services

Thank you to all who voted and to those that volunteered their time at the voting booths today.
The Rollinsford Water and Sewer District (RWSD) is currently asking that District members voluntarily reduce outdoor water use as local drought conditions continue to worsen. At this time, the public is requested to refrain voluntarily from landscape watering and to limit the amount of water used outdoors for other purposes. We will continue to monitor our water levels and may issue mandatory restrictions if conditions continue to worsen and drought conditions persist. We thank you for your cooperation.
