Many people naturally assume our water comes from nearby rivers or lakes.
Depending on where you have relocated from, chances are you may not be familiar with ground water as a water source. A common misconception is that it is a river flowing beneath the ground. Actually, it is water that is trapped within the spaces among the layers of sand, gravel and rocks beneath the surface. A water-bearing soil or rock formation capable of yielding enough water for human use is called an aquifer. Fortunately for us, Merrimack lies above a prehistoric glacial valley which forms one of the best aquifers in the state.
