Londonderry NH water solutions

According to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), the tap water in New Hampshire is safe to drink, thanks to the work of the NHDES Drinking Water and Groundwater Bureau (DWGB), which works to protect public health by providing reliable tap water. But even treated groundwater that passes state and federal standards can contain enough mineral deposits to change the quality and flavor of the water.

Manganese, iron, arsenic, fluoride, beryllium and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may be found in groundwater in and around Londonderry. Some of those compounds sneak through water treatment plan processes, but a work-based filtration system can provide further refinement on demand.

New Hampshire’s tap water contains high levels of harmful PFAS due to industrial and military activity in the area. PFAs are called “forever chemicals” because they’re difficult to get rid of once they’re in the environment or our bodies. Because PFAS are relatively new, local and federal legislators are still developing testing standards and treatment protocols.

In the meantime, you can protect yourself and your family with a bottleless water cooler that offers advanced filtration. Look for units that can filter out contaminants, like PFAS, microplastics and lead, often left behind by lower-quality coolers.
