Source Water Protection Plan

Stratham water body

The Town of Stratham and Rockingham Regional Planning Commission, with funding support provided by the NH Department of Environmental Services, has completed a Source Water Protection Plan to guide community decision-making related to protecting drinking water resources in Stratham. With the vast majority of Stratham residents dependent on private on-site well and septic systems, this topic is of critical importance for the community. The plan includes a series of recommendations for Stratham to consider in order to protect source waters and ensure their continued resilience. Although these recommendations are only advisory in nature, the plan will serve as an important resource as Stratham considers zoning and land use changes and other community decisions in the coming years.

The plan is available at the following link:
