As Cummaquid Heights sits on two towns, many residents have asked questions. Below we provide links to some of the town ordinances.
CHA HELPFUL INFORMATION
EMERGENCIES - A 24" wide Pathway is needed for an EMS Stretcher/Gurney
INTERSECTIONS - Many in CH have no Stop Signs
VISIBILITY - The Heights is very dark at night due to the limited number of street lights. Having lighted lamp-posts and house numbers, visible from the road can help. Such lighting can be operated by photocells or timers, so that they may remain lighted during evening hours.
