  • Concord water-main leak survey continues through August 3

    A citywide survey intended to locate hidden leaks in Concord’s water-distribution system is scheduled to continue through Aug. 3, 2026.

    American Leak Detection is conducting the survey for Concord General Services. The work began July 27 and covers the city’s water system, including water mains, service lines, hydrants and valves.

    The City of Concord said the effort is intended to identify leaks that are not readily visible. The project is funded through a grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.

    Work may take place overnight

    Technicians may conduct the survey during daytime hours and during lower-traffic overnight hours, according to the city’s announcement. The scheduled end date is Aug. 3.

    The announcement was published July 24, before the field work’s July 27 start. It identifies American Leak Detection as the contractor conducting the citywide work.

    Survey is focused on system maintenance

    The operation concerns maintenance of Concord’s public water system and water conservation. Its stated focus is finding hidden leaks across several parts of the distribution network, rather than inspecting only water mains.

    That includes service lines, which connect the distribution system to water service, as well as hydrants and valves. The city did not provide a count of locations to be surveyed or a projected amount of water that could be saved.

    The city also did not report that the survey had identified a specific leak. No survey results were included in the announcement, and the city did not announce service interruptions in connection with the work.

    What is known next

    For now, the known next milestone is the scheduled conclusion of the survey on Aug. 3. The announcement does not say when findings from the work might be released or what actions would follow if leaks are identified.

    Residents and others traveling through Concord may see technicians working at different times of day, including lower-traffic overnight periods. The city’s notice describes the timing as possible work hours, not a fixed schedule for particular streets or locations.

  • Nashua Zoning Board lists Aug. 11 hearing, with July 28 application deadline

    The City of Nashua’s official 2026 schedule lists an Aug. 11 hearing for the Nashua Zoning Board of Adjustment, with a corresponding application deadline of July 28.

    The schedule confirms the dates but does not identify applications, applicants, properties or proposals that may be considered at the hearing. It also does not establish that any particular project will be on the board’s Aug. 11 agenda.

    Dates set on the city calendar

    Under the city’s published schedule, applications associated with the Aug. 11 hearing were due July 28. The deadline comes before the listed hearing date and is the only filing-related date provided for that hearing in the source document.

    The City of Nashua published the 2026 Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting-date schedule on July 1. The document identifies Aug. 11, 2026, as a hearing date and pairs it with the July 28 application deadline.

    The schedule provides a calendar for the board’s work, rather than a list of matters expected to come before it. It does not name a case number, parcel, property owner, applicant or requested zoning action for Aug. 11.

    Agenda items are not yet identified in the cited schedule

    As a result, the schedule alone cannot confirm whether the board will consider a development proposal, a request tied to a specific property or another type of application at the Aug. 11 hearing.

    It also cannot confirm an applicant, predict a board decision or show whether a potentially disputed application is pending. Those details would require an agenda or case files, neither of which is identified in the cited meeting-date schedule.

    Why the hearing date matters

    The listed hearing is a dated local-government land-use event that could bring property or development matters before the Zoning Board of Adjustment. But the official schedule does not provide enough information to say which matters, if any, will be heard.

    For now, the next confirmed information is limited to the calendar: the July 28 application deadline and the Aug. 11 hearing date. Any reporting on individual applications or board action must await records that identify the matters before the board.

  • Manchester City Clerk’s Office to offer late Tuesday hours before state primary

    Manchester’s City Clerk’s Office will offer extended Tuesday evening hours for voter registration and absentee-ballot services ahead of New Hampshire’s Sept. 8 state primary.

    The additional hours will run from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays from Aug. 4 through Sept. 1, according to the City of Manchester.

    Five Tuesday evening sessions

    The schedule covers five Tuesdays, beginning Aug. 4 and ending Sept. 1. The final evening session is scheduled one week before the state primary on Sept. 8.

    The city’s announcement identifies the expanded hours as a pre-primary service schedule at the City Clerk’s Office. It says the evening availability is for voter-registration and absentee-ballot services.

    Services tied to the primary timeline

    The extended schedule is tied specifically to the Sept. 8 state primary. The added three-hour window is limited to Tuesday evenings during the Aug. 4 through Sept. 1 period described in the city announcement.

    The announcement does not provide an estimate of how many people are expected to use the additional hours. It also does not provide further details in the approved source packet about voter or absentee-ballot eligibility requirements.

    Manchester’s announcement gives voters seeking those City Clerk services five scheduled evening opportunities before the state primary.
