Hooksett Village Water Precinct was the proud recipient of the 2014 Utility of the Year Award for small water systems from New England Water Works Association (NEWWA).  The award recognizes a utility that has made significant improvements to its water system infrastructure, customer service, staff training and operations to further protect the safety of its water supplies and the public health of its consumers.  NEWWA acknowledged the Precinct’s work to maintain high water quality and reliability, and its capital investments to keep up with the town’s residential growth and subsequent water demands.  Recent investments included generators for backup power, wireless security systems, a state-of-the-art well, pump stations, a large storage tank and the beginnings of an automated metering system.
