DPW Stormwater Outfall Data Collection
In 2019, DPW interns focused on updating the outfall inventory and priority ranking. They identified and inspected 202 sites and sampled the water at 23 of those sites under "dry weather" conditions.
Portsmouth DPW maintains a library of thousands of paper maps, dating back to 1809. Some detail water pipes that are still in place and in daily use.
The City of Portsmouth’s StormwaterProgram is dedicated to improving water quality in our drainage together with reducing flooding hazards through comprehensive planning, public education, and management of the city's stormwater and combined sewer/stormwater systems.
The Stormwater Program is funded through a Special Revenue Fund, created in FY19, with 50% of funding from the city's General Fund and 50% from the Sewer Fund.
The quickest way to report a snow removal issue or problem is to use the City's Click 'n' Fix resource. By using this response system your issue is immediately entered as a DPW work order.
