Right now most of New Hampshire’s drinking water sources are well protected, but in the future we may need to draw from rivers and lakes that suffer from storm water pollution, run-off problems and the hazards of development. In the next installment of our series on drinking water we look at the quality of our drinking water, threats to water quality and how they're cleaned up before reaching our tap.

Guests

  • David Paris, Water Supply Administrator for Manchester Water Works Water Treatment Plant
  • Bernie Lucy, Senior Engineer at the Drinking Water and Groundwater Bureau at New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services
