Please accept the testimony regarding public purpose filed early on April 20,2005. 2. The most important portions of that filing are the two securities announcements attachments 6 and 7 of the filing of April20,2005. 3. Since that time it has been discovered that the investigation into the conduct of Pennichuck Corporation is not concluded. I had requested the supporting documents from the State Securities Division. Their formal reply states that the government continues to investigate the matter of Pennichuck Corporation. This continuing government investigation necessitates the supportive documents that I requested remain confidential. This secrecy suggests that other possible misdeeds are still to be revealed. I The citizens and rate payers of Nashua and surrounding area deserve to know who is managing their water supply and be protected fiom unaccountable ownership. Only municipal ownership can assure this. Barbara Pressly 11 Orchard Avenue Nashua, NH 03060 Phone: (603) 880-7752 Email : barbaravia@,aol.corn April 22,2005 Debra A.

Dear Ms. Howland: Enclosed for filing with the Commission in the above-captioned docket are the original and eight copies of my testimony of public interest as a supporting intervener. The points will be exclusive to Public Purpose. Copies shall be provided to the parties on the service list by email and regular postal service. The attachments shall be underlined to highlight the portions supporting my points. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this filing. Sincerely, Barbara Pressly STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE BEFORE THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION CITY OF NASHUA'S PETITION FOR PURCHASING PENNICHUCK CORPORATION Docket No: DW 04-48 PUBLIC INTEREST TESTIMONY OF BARBARA PRESSLY, SUPPORTIVE INTERVENOR FOR CITY OF NASHUA PURCHASING PENNICHUCK WATER SUBMITTED ON APRIL 20,2005 PUBLIC PURPOSE is served by The City of Nashua taking ownership and exclusive decision making responsibility for our life sustaining WATER, a commodity owned by the people of the State of New Hampshire. 1. Water is a unique utility. It is a monopoly in the purest sense of the definition. NO competition is possible. Only one entity can have exclusive control. Water is essential to life. Water is a natural resource owned by the State, produced in the State, and housed by the State. Most other utilities produce, house and own the commodity they process and deliver. Pennichuck Corporation takes what belongs to the customer, processes it and delivers it to them. 2. Public ownership will ~rovideaccountability and transparency. Pennichuck Corporation has a long history of secrecy from its customers and stockholders. Municipal ownership will produce transparency and allow the ratepayers to know what the decisions are, how they are made and how to communicate with the decision makers. Municipal ownership will have all meetings and decisions open to the public and press a. Attachment 1 is the timeline written by myself with the facts leading up to Pennichuck planning to sell the Corporation. See the underlined portions showing Pennichuck being less than forthright with the customers and the stockholders. b. Attachment 2 is the newspaper article reporting the fact that I had to purchase a stock in the company in order to communicate with the decision makers (stockholders). Pennichuck refbsed to give me the stockholders list in accordance with State Law because I had publicly stated my objections to the sale. See underlined portions. c. Attachment 3 is the Superior Court Petition filed to force the Corporation to reveal the names of the Decision Makers. This demonstrates the tactics of delay, bullying and expense to keep secrets which would be common knowledge if it were owned by a government entity. The costs of their tactics were passed on to the ratepayers. See underlined portions and particularly page 2. d. Attachment 4 is the settlement where Pennichuck produced the shareholders list and paid my court costs. See the underlined portions of pages 5 and 7. 3. Public ownership will protect the wetlands (the natural water purification system). Pennichuck Corporation has permanently destroyed the wetlands and buffer areas which naturally protect out drinking water supply. The profit from this development was pure profit for the shareholders. I believxt if the water had been owned and managed by the City, the wetlands would NOT have been destroyed. The citizens of Nashua would have known about the plan and would have actively objected.

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

Over 1,600 pails and drums of various hazardous wastes were disposed of in a quarter of an acre open face dump from approximately 1975 thru 1979. The pails, drums and some contami­ nated soil were excavated and secured in an emergency removal action by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 1980 and 1981 and were removed from the site in 1981 and 1982. The NHWS&PCC Hydrogeological Investigation Unit began a hydrogeologi­ cal investigation of the Mottolo Site in March 1985 to update the pre­ vious site information and to better define the area of contamination and the potential receptors at risk. The Unit's hydrogeological investiga­ tion included a fracture fabric analysis of the bedrock geology of the area, selected geophysical surveys, a hydrochemical reconnaissance of the site, the installation of ten additional monitoring wells, the measure­ ment of groundwater and surface water elevations and the sampling of monitoring wells, residential wells and nearby surface waters. The investigation indicated that there are no additional areas of buried metal containers at the site, but that residual contamination emanating from the former drum disposal area is continuing to adversely impact the groundwater and surface waters near the site.
