The Connecticut River, on the border between Vermont and New Hampshire, was so low that it can be crossed on foot in some spots. Wells were also running dry as drought continued so that people statewide were calling about dry wells. A well company in Dunbarton was getting 15 to 20 telephone calls daily from people needing help.
“The surface waters all across the state are also extraordinarily low. There are lots of record lows for this time of year. Winnipesaukee is down a couple of feet, Sunapee down more than two feet.”, according to Ted Diers, assistant director of the water division of the state Department of Environmental Services. June, July and August brought little rain to the area.
