We protect water in New Hampshire.

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.”
Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.

— Mr. Rogers

We Protect Water in New Hampshire

AND HELP STUDENTS DISCOVER WAYS THEY CAN TOO

In 1991 the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services organized the first Drinking Water Festival for fourth graders. Soon thereafter, a partnership was formed with Manchester Water Works, which had organized a successful city-level Water Science Fair.

Today, the New Hampshire Drinking Water Festival, Water Science Fair and Poetry Contest is organized by the New Hampshire Drinking Water Coalition, which includes representatives from the following organizations:

- Concord General Services
- Granite State Rural Water Association
- Keene Public Works Department
- Manchester Water Works
- New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
- New Hampshire Water Works Association
- Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District
- RCAP Solutions
