Public water supply upgrades topic of May 1 workshop

posted on 4/29/2024

The City Council will hold a workshop on the city's public water supply upgrades on Wednesday, May 1.

In one presentation, city staff will discuss how Dover is complying with federal lead service line regulations, and how the city is working to identify and address any possible lead-based service lines on private property that may be connected to the city's water system.

Another presentation will be from consultant Underwood Engineers staff, who provide Dover technical expertise with its water system infrastructure. Their presentation will provide an overview of the Pudding Hill Water Treatment Plant that will be online later this season, including how it works and complies with the new federal PFAS regulations. They will also discuss the new Smith Well Road water tank that is nearing completion, and the planned Garrison Hill water tank rehabilitation, slated to begin as early as this fall.

A third presentation is from Emery & Garrett Groundwater Investigations, a division of GZA. This city consultant provides technical expertise in monitoring and managing the city's drinking water aquifers. It also helps the city investigate new groundwater sources.

The workshop begins at 7 p.m. in City Hall's Council Chamber. It will be televised on Channel 22 and online at https://dovernh.viebit.com, where it will also be available for on-demand viewing.
