The City of Portsmouth’s water supply sources have continued to perform reliably despite ongoing drought conditions that began in June 2025. Although the Bellamy Reservoir, Portsmouth’s primary surface water source, reached levels lower than those observed during the 2022 and 2024 droughts, reservoir storage stayed above the more critical lows recorded in 2016 and 2020. Groundwater levels are currently below seasonal norms; however, the Bellamy Reservoir has fully recovered.
