Drought resources

Videos/Resources on water supply shortages and drought conditions:

  • Amid drought, property owners coping with dry wells 
  • What Can I Do When My Well Goes Dry? 
  • Submit water supply issues via the drought reporter
  • Find more information and resources
  • For the current drought status and other resources
  • Temporary solutions for dry wells: 
    • fill food-safe containers with water from a known safe source that is a tested water supply (for example, a community or municipal water system or a neighbor’s or family member’s home)
    • buy water from a bulk water hauler and filling up a water tank; do not fill wells or spring boxes with water delivered by a water hauler - it could seep into the surrounding soils and bedrock before you can use it and it is against state regulation.
  • buy bottled water.
  • hire a well driller to make well improvements, like lowering pumps, deepening existing wells, or drilling new wells
  • for financial assistance, low-cost financing options may be available to eligible homeowners for the repair or replacement of failed septic and/or water systems.
  • Roadside Springs: 
    • not considered a safe source of water for drinking and cooking (or other ways of swallowing water)
    • are frequently contaminated by bacteria or other germs that can make people sick, which happened recently in New Hampshire 
    • as a last resort during an emergency water outage, roadside springs may offer a temporary solution.  
    • It is okay to use water from roadside springs for bathing, washing clothes, and flushing toilets: boil water for one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, brushing teeth, and making ice cubes, and concentrated juices
      • even after boiling there could be health risks, especially for infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
