The Water/Sewer Division of Exeter DPW strives through the use of long-term planning, quality engineering, and preventative maintenance to protect public health. The Water/Sewer Division is responsible for providing quality drinking water, and for the proper treatment of wastewater before it discharges to the Squamscott River.Our services are provided by a team of 15 people to maintain Wastewater Treatment, Water Treatment, and System Operations.
The system operations include maintenance and upgrades of the collection and distribution infrastructure: including water & sewer mains, pump stations, water meters, and many other preventative maintenance duties.The Water/Sewer Department remains vigilant in providing reliable services and ensuring customer satisfaction.
The Town of Exeter operates a public water system within the Town limits. The system has approximately 3,200 accounts. Water billing is broken into three districts with each district receiving a quarterly bill. The Town also operates a sewer system and bills quarterly for these services. Sewer bills are based on water usage. Each account is charged a quarterly fee of $26 for water and $26 for sewer ($52 total) regardless of meter size.
The water supply for the Town is a combination of surface and groundwater. The surface water supply comes from the Exeter Reservoir (aka Dearborn Reservoir), Skinner Springs (located in Stratham), and the Exeter River. The groundwater supply comes from the Lary Lane well. The average day demand of the system is approximately 1.0 to 1.1 MGD.
