Longer-form draft.

During the June 17 Conservation Commission meeting, several updates were provided regarding the safety and integrity of Laconia's water supply that residents should be aware of.

Of particular concern is the discussion regarding PFOA chemicals. Following the identification of three local facilities associated with the use of these chemicals, the Commission expressed a need to have the municipal water supply tested. Seth Nuttelman and Rick Sharinka (D.E.S.) are tasked with following up on how these PFOA issues are being handled locally to ensure public health is protected.

Additionally, the Commission reviewed lead testing results for our local schools. While officials reported that levels were mostly undetected or well below the 15 ppb action threshold, they did identify three lead loops within the school water system. 

We will continue to monitor these developments, specifically regarding the PFOA testing results and the identified lead loops, to ensure the city provides clear and timely information to the community. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/laconia/conservation-commission/2026-06-17/ #MeetingWatch #LaconiaNH
