From the meeting
The City Manager asked the Council to schedule first reading on November 16, 2026 for a comprehensive update to the Sewer Use Ordinance. The report said the rewrite was required by the city's federally issued wastewater discharge permits for the Peirce Island and Pease Wastewater Treatment Facilities and would replace Chapter 11, Article II with a new Chapter 16, Article III, Sewers. Staff said the City had already submitted draft industrial pretreatment program documents to EPA and NH DES.
Decision state: proposed.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Portsmouth School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Portsmouth School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
