1. Where does our water come from?

Gravelly Pond in Hamilton off Upper Pine St / Chebacco Road provides 60% of our water and Lincoln Street Well (LSW) next to the high school provides 40% of our water (on average)

2. How can I conserve more drinking water?

1. Really glad you asked - educating all households on the techniques and benefits of conservation is an important goal for Manchester. For your outdoor water usage, you could start with an informative pamphlet from NorthShore Greenscapes, available free of charge at Town Hall. This pamphlet will periodically be distributed to households. In addition, rebates and discounts on rain barrels are already available. Future plans include additional conservation suggestions and water audits, similar to MassSave electric usage, insulation audits, and setback thermostats.

3. What’s my water usage over the past 10 years?

If you have not saved your water bills you can contact the Water Department at 978-526-1242 and they will send you the 10 year water consumption history for your address.
