New Hampshire Drinking Water Commission Approves $35M in State Projects
11/3/2017
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A state advisory commission on drinking water and groundwater has approved $35 million in grants and loans for communities across New Hampshire.
One of the projects approved for funding Thursday was a statewide assessment of drinking and groundwater contamination. Others involve water main and meter replacements and pumping station projects.
The commission was created following a $236 million judgment awarded to New Hampshire against Exxon Mobil over MTBE, a petroleum-based gasoline additive that has been used since the 1970s to reduce smog-causing emissions. Money went into a trust fund to protect drinking water and groundwater.
