Water Color Update

July 27, 2023

Hampstead Area Water Company, Inc. (HAWC) is providing this update to address concerns regarding recent drinking water color. The company is committed to providing the highest quality water to its customers and ensuring transparency as it addresses this issue.


First and foremost, we want to let our customers in Atkinson that the water is safe to drink. In addition, our water quality testing procedures have been intensified to closely monitor the situation. This ensures that any changes in water quality are detected and appropriate measures are taken. In addition to this, we are taking daily readings to track the water quality.


Please know HAWC will provide an onsite inspection to all customers that request, and that data will be used to track flushing and other efforts to remedy the situation.


Thank you for your patience and understand that we are working hard to resolve this issue, and although the water was not aesthetically pleasing, at no time during this event did any water samples exceed safe drinking water standards.


Stay Informed: Regularly check HAWC’s website at www.hampsteadwater.com and social media channels for updates on the progress of our efforts.
