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

2025 Rates

First 3,000 gallons

$33.06 minimum

Next  12,000 gallons

$.01638 per gallon

Over 15,000 gallons

$.00809 per gallon


Sewer Tiers

2025 Rates

Per Gallon

$.01656


Garbage Pick up

2025 Rates

Ever other month

$26.00

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.
