If the NH-lakes region was located in Massachusetts, all the waterfront towns would have had town water installed by the year 1985, thirty years ago. Town water, and a home-owner, private septic system is very common for single family homes and apartments on Cape Cod.
In the New Hampshire lakes region, many waterfront homes get their water from the lake, and Live Free or Die......cough, cough, cough.
On Meredith Neck, the town water only goes as far as the intersection of Pleasant St, Meredith Neck Rd, and Barnard Ridge Rd, which coincidentally is the same point where the road surface on the Meredith Neck Rd, a State of NH-owned road, goes all potholes and broken down asphalt for the next six miles. So, there's no town water, and a broke down, falling apart asphalt road surface ...... a Republican Road ..... and a Republican water system .... Live Free or Die!
