The City of Portsmouth’s water supply sources have continued to perform reliably despite ongoing drought conditions that began in June 2025. The Seacoast region remains in a Moderate Drought (D1) classification, with a small portion of the area still experiencing Severe Drought (D2) conditions. While groundwater levels remain below typical seasonal averages, storage in the Bellamy Reservoir has remained stable and sufficient through the first half of 2026.
