Department News

The Town of Hudson has one active community well in Litchfield and currently purchases water from Pennichuck Water Works. Both water sources are currently in compliance with the current federal and state levels and no action is required at this time. We are working on determining how the new proposed EPA rules, which have not been adopted yet, could impact us. The new proposed rules have not been adopted yet and will be subject to DES review and approval for the next two years.

The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) details the quality of your drinking water, where it comes from, and where you can get more information.
