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.
