Start or Stop Water / Sewer Service

Start Service

A written Application for Water and Sewer Service (PDF) is required for any water/sewer service to be initiated at a property address. Please print the application and provide the required information as well as signature(s). If you are unable to print the application, we will be happy to send one in the mail to you.  The paper applications are also available in the container located at the end of the sidewalk in front of the Utilities Department's office at 600 Hudgins Road, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22408. 

The completed and signed application can be submitted by email, fax, mail, or delivered in-person to the dropbox located in front of the Utilities Department's office (see Delivery Methods below). Please note, there is no option to complete the application by telephone or online.  We must receive the written and signed paper application to start services.

Please allow sufficient time for your documents to reach our facility and give us a call at 540-507-7300, Press Option 1, to verify that the information has been received and your service order has been scheduled. Please allow at least one business day for your application to be processed. Starting or stopping services takes place during normal business hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (excluding holidays).
