2020 Outdoor Watering Policy
Hampstead Area Water Company • April 3, 2020
This coming spring and summer, HAWC is requesting customers to strictly adhere to its Outdoor Watering Policy throughout the year.
Re: Reminder ‐ Outdoor Watering Policy
As you may be aware the Hampstead Area Water Company, Inc.’s (HAWC) Atkinson and Hampstead Core system is undergoing many
changes this year as part of the Southern NH Regional Water Project (SNHRWP). As the Core system is upgraded to incorporate the
SNHRWP components many of the core system wells will need to be brought offline for upgrades. This will result in temporary reductions
in yield throughout the year. This coupled with the below average precipitation throughout the winter could lead to supply concerns if
the HAWC watering policy is not strictly adhered to.
In an effort to reduce mandatory water use restrictions this coming spring and summer, HAWC is requesting customers to strictly adhere
to its Outdoor Watering Policy throughout the year. Even when water supply is adequate, conservation is a wise use of an important
resource. Conservation can contribute to a healthy environment, reduce your water bill, and ensure an adequate water supply for years
to come.
Customers with odd numbered addresses (i.e. ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) are asked to do outdoor watering only on odd numbered dates.
Likewise, those with even numbered addresses (i.e. 0,2,4,6, or 8) should water lawns, gardens and shrubs, fill swimming pools, wash
cars, etc., only on even numbered dates.
This Watering Policy is a key element of Hampstead Area Water Company Inc.’s Water Conservation Program. Although we restrict
irrigation and lawn sprinkler usage to every other day, hand‐held hoses and watering cans will be permitted for use in your vegetable
and flower gardens on any day.
We would also ask that you be mindful of planting new grass and shrubbery / plantings only in times that are optimal for growth, such
as spring and fall.
In addition, upon charging your irrigation for the first time please identify and address any leaks in irrigation lines or heads that may
have resulted from damage over the winter as well as over spraying from heads spraying on pavement, woods, etc. You are asked to
set automatic irrigation systems to water between the hours of 6 pm and 6 am. Homeowners in subdivisions with common areas are
also asked to restrict watering their common areas to every other day.
As we approach these warmer months and with more people home due to the Covid‐19 pandemic using additional water we need to
be as pro‐active as possible to keep people mindful of adhering to the Outdoor Watering Policy.
