5. It is the applicant’s responsibility to hire a contractor to do the installation of
the water service line in accordance with Town service specifications, and pay
for all water line installation costs. Copies of the appropriate service details
can be found online by viewing the Water Service Specifications link, or
obtained in the Engineering Department of Town Hall.
A street opening permit may be required. Please contact the Hudson Highway
Department for application and processing at 603-886-6018.
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
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 is
required (business hours) is required.
The Water Department may require a Compound Meter on services that are 2”
or larger, that can accurately read both high and low flow rates.
Your meter can not be set until your plumber has installed the internal
plumbing to your building in accordance with the service details.
Once the meter is set, then 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. Again, please be advised that the Water Access
fee must be paid prior to service turn-on and/or issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
