Keene is a gorgeous yet suburban place to live in NH! With the beauty of Mt. Monadnock to the Redfern Arts Center and Stonewall Farm, you’ll find natural elements, the arts, and historic charm. And with Keene State University’s presence, the town has a vibrant collegiate atmosphere.

Keene residents have had a unique path with their water supply — instituted in 1753, Keene’s Water Department is one of the oldest in the nation! Their first aqueducts were most likely built by Luther Emes and Abijah Wilder, who also helped establish Boston’s first water system. Since then, the city has continued to provide purified water to its residents.

But residents still want to know that they are getting the best and cleanest water possible. Keene receives water from surface water reservoirs in Roxbury (Babbidge Reservoir and Woodward Pond) and some wells near Court and West Street. In the mid-90s, the community dealt with metallic tastes, which was due to old copper pipes. Since then, there have been questions about the smell and taste, which the city has attributed to low levels of chemicals used for cleaning the water.

Keene has a great system in place for accepting water concerns. If you are ever unsure about the safety, quality, or activity around the water sources, you can attend a meeting with the city council at 6:00 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month in the City Council Chambers at City Hall or call 603-352-0133.

While the city does take water purification seriously, some Keene homes are on well water — and no matter how effectively the city treats its water, there are still contaminants. The EWG report, which has a higher standard than state water limits, reported that water treatment in Keene has higher potential carcinogens levels.

These contaminants include —

  • Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs)† (152x over EWG limits)
  • Haloacetic acids (HAA5)† (231x over EWG limits)
  • Bromodichloromethane (30x over EWG limits)
  • Chloroform (30x over EWG limits)
  • Chromium (3.8x over EWG limits)
  • Dibromochloromethane (2.1x over EWG limits)

Some risk factors are at play in Keene’s water supply — and when you’re looking for the best solution, you can rest knowing that NH Tap brings the best water filtration system to help your home stay safe and healthy.
