New Hampshire SB594 prohibits the use of devices that prevent ice formation in public waters.

New Hampshire SB594 amends existing law to prohibit the use of devices that inhibit or prevent the natural freezing of water or the formation of ice in public waters. This includes devices that heat or agitate water, impeding the natural ice formation process. The bill also mandates that warning signs be posted for any devices used to protect legally existing permanent structures from ice damage. These signs must be readable from at least 200 feet away, visible from all directions, and equipped with reflectors and a unique color-coded design.
