Laconia City Council Meeting Update: June 18, 2026 During the June 18 City Council meeting, several items were discussed that carry significant implications for Laconia residents, specifically regarding our finances and public health. First, the city is facing a major potential expense. An insurance company is seeking $250,000 in reimbursement from the city for damages resulting from a water main break that occurred in 2014.
