2011 DRAWDOWN OF DAMS:

Please note that installation of water services along the shoreline and in low lying areas may be more feasible during drawdowns if scheduled due to the water table being lowered.

Kelley Falls/Namaske Lake - **(NEW)** Update 10/26/11 - Please click here for information on the drawdown of Namaske Lake at the Kelly Falls Dam for flashboard maintenance.  This would be an appropriate time to remove floating docks or to complete installation of water services related to the STAG Grant.  Click here for Enel's official notice of the drawdown. 

Greggs Falls/Glen Lake - We will be drawing down the level of Glen Lake on October 23rd starting around ten in the morning.  The lake level will be lowered from 272.60 to 271.10 (18 inches

AFTER QUOTES ARE APPROVED AND YOU HAVE RECIEVED A LETTER FROM THE TOWN:

 Bring in a check written to "The Town of Goffstown" for the specified deposit in your letter, based on the contractor you choose.

1. MWW Domestic Water Service Application (Rules and Regulations) - All property owners will be required to read this before signing your MWW water service tie card and pressure agreement.  Feel free to read ahead of time so that you do not need to do so at Town Hall.
2. Plumbing Permit - This should be filled out by whoever is performing
3. Street Opening Permit - The determination of needing a Street Opening Permit is based off of the as-built information received by MWW and Town tax maps. It is possible that the Town's letter states that a Street Opening Permit is not required for your property, when in fact one is needed based on field conditions. The contractor is responsible for obtaining a Street Opening Permit with the Department of Public Works if the MWW shutoff is less than 6 feet from the edge of pavement and within the Town ROW.
