Water & Sewer Utility Information
Water and Sewer: The town’s central water supply and sanitary sewers cover most of Onancock. The Town decided to transfer ownership of the wastewater treatment plant to HRSD (Hampton Roads Sanitation District) to ensure more efficient and effective management of our wastewater. The Town continues to read meters and send bills every other month. Here are the rates:
Water Tiers | 2026 Bi-Monthly Rates | 2026 Monthly Rates |
First 3,000/1,500 gallons | $34.05 minimum | $17.03 minimum |
Next 12,000/6,000 gallons | $.01687 per gallon | $.00844 per gallon |
Over 15,000/7,500 gallons | $.00834 per gallon | $.00418 per gallon |

If you have trouble paying your bill on time, contact the Town Hall, and we may be able to set up a payment plan.
The town plans to replace water meters with remote-read meters. They will be much more accurate and have leak notification capabilities, hopefully avoiding large bills. As that project progresses, HRSD will take over all water, sewer, and garbage billing.
The town charges residents exactly what we are charged for trash removal. Your fee only covers costs.
