Amherst provides the best of rural and suburban living in one location! While offering easy access to highways and proximity to Nashua, Manchester, and more, you still get the quaint NH charm of a close-knit village. Natural parks like the Ponemah Bog Wildlife Sanctuary and Baboosic Lake help you stay close to the best natural elements NH has to offer.

While Amherst offers a well-balanced way of life, residents still have to worry about sourcing pure water. Having struggled with PFOA and living close to the Merrimack River, residents are highly aware of the water issues that come with city and well water alike.

From reproductive health to hormonal and nervous systems, your body is seriously impacted by the water you absorb through cleaning, washing, and drinking every day. Organic and non-organic elements contaminate city water and private wells through sewage issues, pesticides, chemical spills, and other unexpected factors.

As recently as April 29, 2021, statewide testing for PFOA resulted in these results for the town’s water supply (bolded is Max PFOA Detected (ng/L) MCL/AGQS = 12; ND means “Not Detected”) —
