In order to update its existing knowledge of the sewer line in the neighborhoods around Ocean Road and Lafayette Road, the City of Portsmouth Department of Public Works will conduct a flow isolation and infiltration assessment, starting at midnight on Monday, December 6, 2021. The work is scheduled to take place between midnight and 6 am, through December 10, 2021, weather permitting.

The work involves lifting sewer manhole covers to assess the pipes between two manhole and will progress through the neighborhoods, one street at a time.
