The Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP) is the state-owned sewer system serving portions of the New Hampshire Lakes Region communities of Center Harbor, Moultonboro, Gilford, Meredith, Laconia, Belmont, Sanbornton, Northfield, Tilton, and Franklin. The WRBP's highly-regarded wastewater collection and treatment facilities, which include a treatment plant in Franklin and a maintenance facility in Laconia, are operated by employees of the state’s Department of Environmental Services (DES) on behalf of the communities benefiting from the facilities. A total of nearly $70 million has been spent to construct these facilities and about $2.7 million is spent each year to operate and maintain them. Much has been accomplished by the WRBP over the years.
