1.  Budget and all warrant articles passed.
2.  Warrant article to permit Rye Water District to supply water for 10 homes in Greenland passed.  A resident raised concerns about the negative financial impact to the District because Portsmouth would be providing the mains and making a significant profit on the water supplied by Rye, while Bethany Church would be transferred from Rye to Portsmouth service, resulting in a loss of revenues.
3.  Petitioned warrant article to convert the District to SB2 governance and permit voters at the Town election the second Tuesday in March to vote on water district matters failed, 28-37.
