Utilities Divisions  


Providing excellent water and wastewater services at the best possible value for our customers.

 

The Department of Utilities is responsible for providing fresh, clean, high-quality water to over 700,000 residents and businesses in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and parts of Chesapeake, as well as the military installations in these cities.  We remove wastewater from over 68,000 homes and businesses in Norfolk and transport it to Hampton Roads Sanitation District for treatment. 

In order to provide the excellent services we offer, we draw raw water from reservoirs, rivers, and wells within the southside Hampton Roads area.  We maintain over 800 miles of treated water pipe and over 800 miles of wastewater pipe within the Norfolk City limits.
