Message from the RWSD

After discussions on current well levels and relief from recent rain, the RWSD is lifting its restrictions on outdoor water use EXCEPT related to irrigation / lawn watering. Restrictions on lawn watering are being maintained at this time throughout the District. Well levels will continue to be monitored and adjustments to the restrictions will be made as necessary. Meanwhile, District members are encouraged to take voluntary measures to conserve water (both indoor and outdoor) whenever possible.

Restrictions on Outside Water Use

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/

Ban on Outdoor Water Use

Last September, the Rollinsford Water and Sewer District (RWSD) issued a mandatory water ban restricting all outdoor water use throughout the District. Unfortunately, the entire state is still experiencing abnormally dry and moderate drought conditions. Please note that THE BAN HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED and is still in place until conditions improve. Per this ban, all outdoor water use activities are restricted within the District. We are continuing to monitor the situation and may make modifications to the restrictions as conditions improve. (We will send out further notifications to District members as modifications are made.) If you have any questions, please contact the District office at 603-742-8124 or via email.

Water Restored Around Willey Street

Water service in the Willey Street area has been restored. If you observe any discoloration in the water and/or spurting due to air in the line, please run the faucet until your water is clear and cold.
We also apologize for the unexpected water shut off this afternoon. It was not a planned shut-off and was due to an unforeseen situation in the Willey / Prospect intersection. We do not anticipate there being additional shut-offs to service this week during construction; however, we will notify affected households if necessary. We appreciate your patience throughout this project.

Signs will be posted throughout the duration of the project to indicate all detours and road closures. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
