Portsmouth Public Works Department

I don't think a person should expect much. I called the supervisor for Portsmouth public utilities and left a message several times. there is a 4 foot by 1 and 1/2 foot 200lb manhole cover in my neighbor's yard that is not covering the manhole and it's causing a sinkhole in my yard that is about 3 foot by 4 foot at this time. I would think this could be an easy enough fix, especially knowing that it's only going to get much worse and much more expensive to fix. there also is a chance for some major flooding for myself and the neighbors around me in my opinion. There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest and fixing the problem.

The city is filthy! Anywhere you go, main roads, side streets there is trash everywhere, junk cars, houses. What do the work crews do when they are doing nothing? Disgusting.

Wheels feel off trash can after it was emptied. Called for a replacement. It's been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting. Defective trash can has been at curb since that happened.

Portsmouth public works picks up your trash / recycling when they want to ! Leave trash in the middle of the road and never pick up recycling bins !

This Portsmouth department are awful liars instead being honest & just saying the cost has gone up they tell you that you might have a leek call a plumber... most of us know or can tell when we got plumbing issues but every home owner i've talked to said there Water bill went up $40 or more...SO DOES THE WHOLE CITY HAS A LEEK??
