People in Hampstead get their water from three potential sources:

Private Wells - Single-family homes usually have one or more individual wells on their property. These can be deep bedrock wells or shallow dug wells. Your water usage may affect your neighbor's water supply and vice versa since all wells draw from the same interconnected system.

Community Water System - An apartment complex, condominium group, or business complex may have a well(s) that supplies all the users. This is maintained by a Management Company or Home Owners Association. The well(s) draw from the same underground sources as private wells.

Commercial Water Supply - About 1300 homes in Hampstead get their water from Hampstead Area Water Company (HAWC). They have a number of large wells in and around town to supply their core area. The HAWC wells draw from the same underground sources as private wells and community water systems.
