Change in Public Drinking Water Supply Treatment - Fluoride
Hampstead Area Water Company • May 6, 2020
ATKINSON / HAMPSTEAD - CHANGE IN PUBLIC DRINKING WATER SUPPLY TREATMENT
Beginning in the summer of 2020, the Hampstead Area Water Company, Inc. (HAWC) core system water users in Atkinson and Hampstead will begin receiving additional public water supply from the town of Salem, as part of the Southern New Hampshire Regional Water (SNHRW) project. Source water for the SNHRW project will be provided by Manchester Water Works (MWW). As part of RSA 485:14, it is HAWC’s responsibility to inform you that water treated at the MWW treatment facility is fluoridated prior to entering the MWW distribution system. Fluoride is added to the water for the purpose of promoting community oral health, though, the fluoride levels in the MWW source water (0.7 mg/L) will be diluted upon mixing with Salem’s water supply prior to entry into HAWC’s distribution system since Salem does not fluoridate its water supply. Once the SNHRW water supply enters HAWC’s system, fluoride concentrations are anticipated to be equal to or lower than the naturally occurring fluoride levels experienced in HAWC’s existing water supplies. As a result, the fluoride added by MWW for promoting community oral health may be too low to effectively prevent tooth decay for HAWC’s core system water users in Atkinson and Hampstead.
