What is the source of my drinking water?
The current source of the Green Hills water supply is the town water supply for Raymond that consists of three gravel pack wells.  All three wells are located between the Cammett Recreation Area and the Lamprey River behind the Town's Safety Complex.  The well site and well #1 were purchased in 1978 and produces over 200 gallons per minute.  Well # 2 was developed in 1988 and produces over 350 gallons per minute.  Well # 3 was developed in 2004 and produces approximately 300 gallons per minute.  Treatment consists of aeration to reduce the level of Radon, manganese green sand filtration to remove iron and manganese, pH adjustment to reduce corrosion, and chlorine addition to kill bacteria.
BULK WATER: Due to unusually high water demand bulk water was delivered to the Raymond Water Department on July 6 and July 7, 2010.  The source of the water was Buxton Water in Epping, NH.  The total amount of water delivered was 122,000 gallons.
