Ever wondered why Hooksett Village Water Precinct flushes hydrants? It's not a waste of water; it's actually a highly crucial practice for both water quality and asset management purposes. Click below to discover why, and what to expect when we're flushing.

Backflow can occur when water pressure changes. If a cross-connection to the water system exists, contamination can occur. Our Backflow Prevention Program protects the public by identifying and isolating cross-connections with testable backflow preventers.

The Precinct adds trace amounts of treatment chemicals to the water, continuously monitors chlorine and pH, and samples for adverse water quality regularly to optimize the safety and aesthetic characteristics of the water distributed throughout our system.

HVWP knows the idea of lead in drinking water can be alarming. We hope that our corrosion control process and LSL Inventory offers comfort. Explore health effects, the role of treatment, and what we know so far of what's underground (spoiler alert: no lead).
