The Boscawen side of Walker Pond, a former source of drinking water owned by the local water district, has been preserved from development. What happens on the Webster side of the pond remains to be seen.
The land around the 200-acre pond has been owned for decades by the Penacook-Boscawen Water Precinct, which now provides water from wells to about 1,100 customers, mostly residential, in Boscawen and Penacook. On Wednesday night, the precinct voted unanimously to sell the two parcels in Boscawen, totaling about 65 acres, to the town for $90,000. The purchase, made with conservation commission funds, had previously been approved by the Boscawen select board.

Two New Hampshire towns will get federal grants to clean up contaminated sites seen as obstacles to economic revitalization.
Boscawen and Jaffrey are among about 150 towns nationwide to receive the brownfield funding from the Environmental Protection Agency this year.
Boscawen will use half a million dollars to clean up a former mill and leather tannery on its riverfront. The contaminated Allied Leather site has sat abandoned since 1987.
In recent years, the city of Concord used an EPA loan to turn another former Allied site in Penacook into housing and offices.
At a press conference this week, Boscawen select board chair Lorrie Carey said residents voted twice at town meeting to help pay for their own mill cleanup.
People lost jobs.
Sponsorships were hard to come by.
Yet, a year later, Spring Training is back in the Valley. There may be limited fans allowed in venues like Glendaleâs Camelback Ranch, Goodyear Ballpark and Peoria Sports Complex, but their respective cities are thankful for any return of live sports.
Spring Training is typically known to bring fans from all over the country to Arizona for warm weather and the early fix of baseball.
However, due to the pandemicâs ongoing presence, many fans are not traveling, which has a snowball effect on ticket sales, restaurants and hotels.
Still, Cactus League and city officials are optimistic.
