the application will be sent to WhiteWater for review. The application fee is based on the
meter size and is defined on Exhibit A.
There is also a one-time Water Access Fee that is required for all new connections to the
town water main. The Access Fee is set annually, as per the “New Customer Water
System Access Fee” schedule attached, and must be paid prior to service turn-on and/or
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

The water service must be inspected by one of the Town’s technicians or
agents prior to backfill. Inspections can be scheduled by calling the
Engineering Department at 603-886-6008. It is your responsibility to fence
any trenches that must be left open until inspection.
6. Your final step to receiving water service involves the installation of the water
meter, remote reader, and turning on the water service. Please contact
WhiteWater at 603-324-8318 to have your meter installed. Note that it is the
responsibility of the contractor to provide meter fittings for 5/8”, ¾” and 1”
meters in addition to the wire installation, as per the specifications shown on
Sheet 1. A list of suppliers for the meter fittings and wire is shown on
Appendix X. Fittings and wire for 1.5” and 2” meters will still be provided by
the Town of Hudson through WhiteWater. A remote wire will be installed
from the inside meter location to the outside of your building before the 1.5”
and 2” meter can be set. If any part of this wire needs to be installed behind
sheet rock or in an area that will not be accessible to WhiteWater at the time
the meter is set, it will be required by your contractor to install the wire from
the meter location to the outside, as shown on Sheet 1. A 48-hour notice
(business hours) is required.
Your meter can not be set until your plumber has installed the internal
plumbing to your house in accordance with the service details.
Once the meter is set, a service turn-on can be scheduled through
WhiteWater at 603-324-8318. The meter can be set and the water turned on
during the same appointment.
High & Low Pressure Conditions
The applicant should be aware that the Town of Hudson has adopted the IRC
(International Residential Code). This code addresses high and low pressure conditions
for water supply. The applicant must address this issue with their plumber.
PRV Requirements
If a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is required, the plumber will be required to perform
the installation based on WhiteWater’s recommendation. It is the responsibility of the
property owner to install a suitable expansion tank and a pressure release valve on water
heaters on the premises to prevent damage resulting from lack of pressure relief through

the water line. WhiteWater may also require the property owner to install increased
levels of backflow prevention protection.
Cross Connection
It is illegal to have a connection between the distribution system and any pipes, pumps,
hydrants, fire protection, sprinkler system or tanks whereby non-potable water or other
contaminating materials may be discharged or drawn into the water distribution system.

sanitary sewer. In cases where it is not practical to maintain a 10-foot separation, a
