Public Utilities
 The Town of Windsor owns and operates a water system.
The Town is in the process of expanding the water system to the newly annexed
areas as an effort to promote a reliable and safe source of drinking water.
The expansion also includes an additional deep well which will be able to
pump approximately 400 gallons a minute. With these improvements, the
majority of the town will be served by the Windsor water system.
Water service is billed bimonthly. Each new water customer is required to
pay a deposit of $75 and a non-refundable administration fee of $15. The
water rate is $5.35 per 1,000 gallons with a minimum bill of $18.75.
When water service to any premises is disconnected by the Town for any
reason, only an authorized Town representative shall reconnect water service.
A reconnection fee may be required if service is disconnected for non-payment
of the utility bill.
Water leaks are handled by the town's maintenance personnel. After hours
emergencies should be reported to the Isle of Wight County Sheriff's
Department at 357-2151 who will contact the appropriate town personnel.
In accordance with state and federal regulations the Windsor Water
Department prepares an annual water quality report.
Sewer service is available in certain areas of the Town of Windsor by the Isle of
Wight County Department of Public Utilities, 365-6319, in coordination with
the Hampton Roads Sanitation District. Please contact these offices with
specific questions about sewer service.
