What is the source of my drinking water?
Lamplighter Village obtains its water from two simultaneously operated bedrock wells.  Bedrock Well # 1 located 450 feet northeast of the pump house is 385 feet deep and yields 25 gallons per minute.  Bedrock Well # 2 located 550 feet east of the pump house is 785 feet deep and yeilds 14 gallons per minute.  Current treatment includes aeration to reduce radon, disinfection using chlorine to kill bacteria, greensand filtration to remove iron and manganese, and pH adjustment using sodium hydroxide to reduce corrosion. 
Text Box: On 7/3/10 approximately 9,000 gallons of drinking water was transferred from Pennichuck Water Work's Treatment Plant in Nashua to the Lamplighter Village storage tank.  This was done because one of the wells failed and the storage tank was low.
