Water & Wastewater Connection Fee Schedule

Connection fees to the Town's water and wastewater systems vary, and depend largely on the size of the water meter necessary for your connection's intended purpose. Access the connection fee schedule. As a point of reference, a 5/8 inch meter is the most common meter size for a single-family dwelling.

The Town routes all Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) fees to HRSD. If you elect to pay an HRSD fee by check, it must be made out to "Hampton Roads Sanitation District."

As a general rule, the twenty-five dollar water minimum fee is paid by contractors for construction purposes. The sixty dollar ($60) water minimum fee is paid by an end-user who is setting up their water and wastewater accounts for the property's intended use(s). Access the Town's application for water-sewer service (PDF).
