The school's Facilities Director argues the 649,600-gallon usage is 8x higher than normal and physically impossible without visible flooding or 'swampy' conditions on the field. It is likely a meter error.

Despite the high cost to taxpayers, the Board reached a consensus to delay any decision until spring when meters can be accessed. Residents should have been notified of this discussion in advance.

Longer-form draft.
During the February 26 Water and Sewer Commission meeting, a significant issue was discussed that was not listed on the public agenda: a disputed $12,932 water bill for Sunapee High School. The school's Facilities Director presented evidence that the recorded usage of 649,600 gallons is eight times higher than normal and highly improbable, noting that there are no visible leaks or swampy conditions on the field to account for such volume. Despite the clear discrepancy, the Commission reached a consensus to delay a final decision until the spring, when snow melt allows for physical meter testing. This lack of prior notice prevented residents from preparing for a discussion involving significant school district funds. Beyond the billing dispute, the Commission reported that copper levels in wastewater effluent are currently exceeding the legal limit of 18 UGL, with recent samples hitting 23 UGL. Staff is currently contacting New London to address the high copper levels in incoming water. Additionally, the Board is moving forward with a $15,000 grant to implement 24/7 cyanobacteria monitoring at the raw water intake. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/water-sewer-commission/2026-02-26/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
