Water companies that supply Manchester

4 public water companies list Manchester as a place they supply. The biggest is the Manchester Water Department, with about 4,140 people. The highest latest result among Manchester's water companies is 8.1 parts per billion, at Village At Eagle Rise. None of the 4 with results was above 15 at its latest test. 2 found too little lead to measure. Small ones like Village At Ormsby Hill HOA supply just their own grounds or street; most of Manchester gets its water from the Manchester Water Department. 3 are small systems serving fewer than 500 people each, such as a mobile home park, a subdivision or a business with its own well. Your water bill names yours.
