Salem and Wolfeboro Rate Increases Active in 2025

Drought Conditions Straining New Hampshire Water Supply
New Hampshire is experiencing drought conditions that are challenging water supply reliability, particularly for smaller municipalities that depend on local groundwater and surface water sources. As natural supply decreases, utilities invest in alternative sources — and commercial customers fund this investment through higher rates.
