Check your emails for a notice from the HOA.

Here is what it says...

Suissevale Members please be advised that there is a "BOIL WATER ORDER" in effect as of today Thursday October 21, 2010. Water smples taken yesterday came back with E.-coli. A state approved notice of this boil water order is being placed at each home in Suissevale.

Please note that water samples are taken at least once a month and then analized at the State Labratory for water quality. The sample came back today Thursday October 21, 2010 with the E.-coli hit this triggers an immediate response from the State of NH that a boil water order be issued.

This problem can occur due to a number of different circumstances, it may be what is known as a false positive, it can also happen when water lines are being worked on, etc. This past week we have been improving water lines and that is being looked at as a source for the problem. We are presently flushing lines and clorinating them. New samples are being taken today. State regulations require more then one sample be taken once a water quality issue arises. We will be sending notice through e-mail and web site as soon as we get the ok to lift boil water order from State.

We appreciate your patience and will keep you informed of our progress.
Why does Lakes Region Water Company (the utility that supplies water for Suissevale) have so many problems? They supply water to 17 communities and all of them seem to have some type of water problem, i.e., quanity, quality, poor maintenance, etc.
LRWC buys out these run down water utilities and then they don't have enough money or man power to fix them up. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) needs to come up with some solution to this problem because LRWC can't seem to do it.
