What is the source of my drinking water?
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 consists 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.
Text Box: Between 5/3/10 and 11/27/10 approximately 324,000 gallons of drinking water was transferred from Pennichuck Water Work's Treatment Plant in Nashua to the Hi & Lo Estates storage tank.  This was done because of low well production.
