Moderate Drought Conditions

Southern New Hampshire is currently in a moderate drought which impacts groundwater levels. The Select Board is monitoring the situation and is not imposing a water restriction as authorized by Ordinance 2016-02 at this time. However, the Town asks that whether you receive your water from the Rollinsford Water Sewer District or a private well that you be mindful of the situation. Drought conditions also increase the risk of fire.

For more information read the ordinance for actions you may take proactively and visit the website of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to learn more about the situation, the implications and outlook.

Creation of Low-Salt Area on General John Sullivan Way

At its meeting of 3/27, the  Select Board met with Michael Trainque, consulting engineer for the Rollinsford Water and Sewer District, regarding the district’s request to create a low-salt area on General John Sullivan Way in order to help protect the newly opened WSD well.

After reviewing with Engineer Trainque and Road Agent St. Jean, the Board agreed to create the low-salt area.   Our road agent will coordinate with the Rollinsford WSD for the installation of road signs to indicate the area.  Attached (or linked) with this notice is the diagram of the well and the extent of the low-salt area (approximately 712 linear feet).

The Select Board will also work with Road Agent St. Jean later this year to review the possibility of trimming back the tree canopy to allow more sunlight on the road, enabling better melting via natural means.
