Water Restrictions

Pennichuck continuously monitors drought conditions in the State of New Hampshire using the United States drought map(PDF). We make decisions regarding the implementation and enforcement of water restrictions in each individual system based upon the data from this map, as well as our own data from each system. Many different factors go into the decision of implementing Water Restrictions. In order to ensure sufficient water is available to meet indoor domestic and consumptive water needs for all of our customers, it is vitally important that you always follow water restrictions in your area. Visit My Water System to see what your system’s current water restrictions are. If you have any questions regarding water restrictions, please call our Customer Service line at 800-553-5191.
