Call ahead before visiting us

Some customers have multiple accounts and do not bring their billing information with them.  They request the customer service representative (CSR) to print all of their bills for them for payment.  In these instances, we will inform the customer that they will have to call us by phone to make this request. 

All questions regarding invoices that would take research and/or excessive time will need to be done by telephone. 

Any vendors seeking permits from the WPCA should make an appointment with the Engineer. 

For questions about your sewer bill please call customer service at 203-332-5550.
