What is the source of my drinking water?
The sources of the Glen Ridge water supply are two wells and the Glen Ridge Pump House located on Sheldon Road in Derry, NH.  Well # 1 is located 240' southeast of the pump house.  Well # 2 is located 200' northeast of the pump house.  Treatment consists of uranium removal, chlorine addition for disinfection,  phosphate addition for corrosion control and iron and manganese sequestration, and aeration to remove radon.
Text Box: On 7/2810 approximately 9,000 gallons of drinking water was transferred from Pennichuck Water Work's Treatment Plant in Nashua to the Glen Ridge storage tank.  This was done because of main break in the distribution system which caused the storage tank to run low.
