As the primary source of drinking water for six towns, the Ossipee Aquifer is vitally important to our area. In acknowledgment, voters over the years have approved regulations mandating protections for the aquifer in regard to population growth and business development. The year also brought the approval of a gas station complex in West Ossipee’s Groundwater Protection District, where Ossipee’s zoning prohibits such uses. But we are certain everyone can agree that the Ossipee Aquifer doesn’t recognize town borders. The Aquifer Advisory Committee can be a great start to that process, and we hope to see you at the meeting on July 17.
