METHODOLOGY:
This bill makes a nonlapsing appropriation to the Department of Environmental services for the funding of a water treatment interconnection between Nashua and Litchfield.
The Department of Environmental Services indicates this bill would provide $9.7 million to fund water supply improvements to increase water supply capacity in order to make public water supply available to residents on private wells and water systems impacted by PFAS contamination in southern New Hampshire. The Department would use the appropriation to disburse grants to area water systems. The Department states it already administers water infrastructure grant and loan programs and would not require additional funds to implement this legislation.
