Coakley Ark Project

Have you been fighting water flooding your basement for YEARS?

• Do you depend on  pumps and hoses to save your house from flooding?

• Does the water you pump out have NO PLACE to GO?

• Do your hoses FREEZE in the winter making pumping difficult or IMPOSSIBLE?

• Do you Fear electric current & heatings systems issues / threats due to flooding?

• Do you keep losing housewares destroyed by flooding?

• Did you KNOW there is a catch-basin and stormwater drain we are not using but which you can tap into on Coakley Rd?

• Did you know that the good folks at the  Portsmouth DPW take on projects like this DIRECTLY to cure or mitigate  problems for multiple households!? (We didn't!) 

I'm Jude (# 46). It has been a nail-biting vigil keeping power supplies  and pumps, running, hoses clear from ice in our exhaustive efforts to protect our homes.

The Portsmouth DPW team is great and offered that if we, collectively, explain this is a multi-family problem on Coakley Rd, the  Utilities Inspection team explained  Portsmouth DPW Construction team may take on this project, providing certain  homeowners with the ability to connect to the underground, stormwater drain system for just a small connection fee.

I gotta say I was so very pleased, impressed, and honestly surprised at how cordial and helpful people at the DPW are! They legit want to help out constituents in town who face challenges so that residents can just enjoy Portsmouth!
