Summary
In Tilton’s Lochmere Village District, a small water system serving 275 homes, PFAS contamination—linked to cancer and immune issues—has been detected for over two years. With $1.425 million from New Hampshire’s PFAS Compensation Fund (funded by corporate lawsuits), they installed a high-tech ion-exchange resin filter, upgraded pumps, and now have undetectable PFAS levels. But the filters need replacing every 18 months at a cost of $20K–$35K each—a burden the state may soon help cover. Meanwhile, Pembroke enforces lawn watering restrictions and seeks a costly bond to join Concord’s system, while Epsom stalls due to staffing shortages.
