Power, water and internet
Who to call to start service at a new address in Greenland.
Power comes from Unitil
Unitil (Unitil Energy Systems), an investor-owned utility, serves all of Greenland. Its homes paid an average of 21.7¢ per kWh in 2025, about $131 a month (its average across New Hampshire, for customers on its standard service). New Hampshire lets you buy power from another supplier; 65% of Unitil’s home customers do, and Unitil still delivers it.
Start or move service: unitil.com · (800) 582-7276
Service territory: HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories (map dated Aug 2023). Prices and customers: EIA-861, 2025.
Water comes from Portsmouth Water Works
Portsmouth Water Works supplies Greenland: about 40% of residents live in its service area. About 60% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws surface water and serves 33,000 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 83% of the 3,525 systems serving 10,001–50,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2024, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 2.0 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report
EPA SDWIS via Envirofacts (violations pulled Oct 9, 2026) and ECHO (lead samples, 2026Q3); service area: EPA Community Water System Service Area Boundaries v3.0. Violations are counted by the start of their compliance period. NH1951010.
