STORMWATER  DRAINAGE

Public Works maintains drainage channels, outlets and detention ponds; repairs existing drainage structures and adds new drainage, as needed, throughout town, and also responds to erosion, road flooding and icing problems.

 

 

Storm drains are located on the side of the road and are installed as part of the construction of the road in order to prevent flooding of the roadway  caused by groundwater and heavy rains.  They can be identified by a metal grate covering the opening.  The drains are periodically cleaned and maintained by the town.

      To report a sink hole, drainage problem or damaged drainage structure, email publicworks@townofwindsorct.com or call 860-285-1855.

       For wet basement problems, refer to the Homeowner'sGuide.

Sanitary sewers can be located anywhere in the road or right of way and have a solid round metal cover over the opening.  These sewers are connected to buildings and homes for the purpose of disposing of raw sewage.  The sanitary sewer lines, as well as the water lines, are installed and maintained by the Metropolitan District Commission. They are located at 555 Main Street, Hartford, CT and can be reached at 860-278-7850.
