Emergency Restoration for Guilford's Shoreline and Inland Neighborhoods

Guilford's shoreline and inland neighborhoods face different property damage risks. During major coastal storms, flooding has pushed 2 to 3 feet of water onto roads and properties around Water Street and River Street along the West River. Route 146 has also closed after approximately 2 feet of fast-moving water accumulated near Meadow Street, where parts of the road sit only 5 to 6 feet above sea level. Before Hurricane Sandy, mandatory evacuations were ordered for residents south of the railroad tracks. Farther north, severe thunderstorms in 2025 caused significant damage along Nortontown Road, and power outages left some homes on well systems without water. These different challenges make reliable emergency restoration services important throughout Guilford.
