The sources of the Hi & Lo Estates water supply are two wells located between Taryn Road and Island Pond Road in Derry, NH.  Well # 2 is located 100 feet northwest of the pump house.  Well # 4 is located 334 feet northwest of the pump house.  Treatment consist of greensand filtration to remove iron and manganese, chlorine addition to disinfect the water, and phosphate addition to aid in corrosion control and sequester iron and manganese.

Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, taste or smell.  It can move up through the ground and into a home through cracks and holes in the foundation.  Radon can also get into indoor air when released from tap water from showering, washing dishes, and other household activities.  It is a known human carcinogen.  Breathing radon can lead to lung cancer.  Drinking water containing radon may cause an increased risk of stomach cancer.  Presently EPA is reviewing a standard for radon in water.
