Several Main Street residents have been without water for months, despite the fact there is no drought in town or the surrounding area.
"We basically have to conserve all the time," said Benoit.
"We’ve taken trips all summer to the laundromat, and we can’t even flush that often because we’re afraid to."
Josh Manning, the general manager for the Hampstead Water Company, said the first step to bringing the water pipeline into the town and ultimately into people’s homes is a formal request of service.
Manning also reiterated Morse’s estimation of turn on cost for water return for Main Street.
"It’s going to be about 18-24 months for that whole process to happen, reliant on the additional sourcing company," said Manning.
Later, Main Street resident Deanna Anthony took the stage, voicing her concerns of no water in her home on Main Street.
Anthony has been spearheading the effort to bring water access back to Main Street.
Her well went dry three months after she moved into her Hampstead home.
"People were saying, ‘It’s not just you,’" said Anthony.
