Level 3 Water Restriction

September 18, 2026: Level 3 Restrictions Remain in Effect - While recent weather has brought some rainfall, the latest drought monitoring data continues to show that much of eastern New Hampshire, including the Seacoast region, remains in Moderate Drought (D1) conditions. Exeter will therefore remain under Level 3 Water Use Restrictions to help protect our drinking water supply and ensure adequate water remains available for essential uses such as drinking, sanitation, and fire protection. 

Level 3 Water Use Restrictions:

  •  Odd-numbered addresses may water landscapes on Mondays and Thursdays.
  •  Even-numbered addresses may water landscapes on Tuesdays and Fridays.
  •  No landscape watering is permitted between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. 

The Town appreciates the community's continued efforts to conserve water. Small steps taken by residents and businesses help preserve Exeter's water resources during ongoing drought conditions and support a reliable water supply for everyone.
