Portsmouth, New Hampshire -- The City of Portsmouth is pleased to report that the general contractor for the Peirce Island Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade project, Methuen Construction, met the December 31, 2019 milestone to achieve substantial completion of the Biological Aerated Filter (BAF), the central component of the new wastewater treatment process.  

Portsmouth has converted its on-street parking from pay and display to pay by plate. For details, click here.

Taxpayers do not pay a penny for any parking related expenses, including the new Foundry Place Garage. The City’s Parking Division is fully funded by parking revenues. In fact, parking revenues offset the City’s tax bill by over $4 million ($2.4M in direct contribution and $1.8M in additional services) -- which reduces the tax bill for most households (a savings of approximately $300 per year for the median value household).
