Relationship Between ENWIN Utilities Ltd. and Windsor Utilities Commission (WUC) - Water service is a public utility managed by a municipal service board called the Windsor Utilities Commission (WUC). WUC owns, controls, manages, and maintains the drinking water works in the City of Windsor. Wastewater services are owned and managed by the City of Windsor. 

WUC has outsourced all of its operations to ENWIN through a  Water System Operating Agreement (WSOA). These services help to produce, deliver and maintain WUC assets. This includes regulating water rates, water quality and conservation efforts.  WUC's focus is on rate control, cost control and compliance, making the management of these essential functions easier without the additional responsibility of having to run a highly technical business on a day-to-day basis.
