The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utility
Commission was formed in 1976 to provide
a unified water and sewer system that was
operationally and financially efficient. Governance
of solid waste disposal was added in 1990. The
Utility Commission is an 11-member appointed
body that oversees the publicly-operated water,
wastewater and solid waste facilities that serve the
City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. As the
policy-making board, the Utility Commission has
the authority and responsibility to set rates and
provide for operational improvements.
