Resource Page for Residents Seeking Information about Town Center DES Notification

Posted on: March 25, 2019 - 11:27am
PFAS Informational Night

The Town of Stratham was alerted to elevated PFAS in at a private property in Town Center in 2019.  Since that time the Town has worked with the State of New Hampshire and affected residents and qualified environmental engineers at Wilcox & Barton, Inc.  This page serves as a repository of the key documents and information pertaining to this issue.  It will be updated, as appropriate.   

On September 10, 2019, over 50 residents and property owners attended the Town’s PFAS in Town Center Informational night at the Municipal Center.  Meeting video and Q & A summary will be posted shortly, meanwhile, the meeting’s presentation is posted on the Town’s PFAS Resource Page.

Please see video of meeting at the bottom of this page. 

Government Resources regarding Poly- and Per-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS or PFCs)
The State of New Hampshire has made a number of resources available through its website:

    • NHDES and NHDHHS have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers associated with PFAS, drinking water, and potential health impacts that can be found here.
    • More information about Poly- and Per-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS or PFCs)
    • News Release: NHDES Submits Final Rulemaking Proposal for PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS and PFNA
    • Since new drinking water standards may encourage private well owners to test their wells for the newly regulated compounds, NHDES has compiled an updated well testing fact sheet that can be found here.
    • Should you wish to consider or install PFAS treatment in your home or business, NHDES has compiled a fact sheet on treatment technologies for PFAS that can be found here.
    • In-Home Water Filtration Options for PFCs in Household Drinking Water here and here.
