What you can do
- Read the system's annual Consumer Confidence Report (water quality report); systems must mail or post it each year. You can also ask Lower Bartlett Water Pct for it directly.
- If your home was built before 1986, lead can come from your own pipes and fixtures even when the utility's water is fine. Run the tap 30 seconds to 2 minutes before drinking if water sat for hours, and use cold water for cooking.
- If you want extra protection, choose a filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53 (lead) or 58 (reverse osmosis); a simple carbon filter certified to NSF/ANSI 42 helps mainly with chlorine taste.
- This system uses wells; NH groundwater can carry naturally occurring arsenic, radon and uranium, which the system must test for.
- On a private well? This system's results do not apply to you. NH DES recommends testing private wells every 3-5 years for a standard analysis.
