Label TextIn 1995, some residents of South Windsor received their water from the Metropolitan District Commission even though South Windsor was not a member of the MDC. The rest were served by a private water company that charged higher rates. Many residents at that time were dissatisfied with both water and sewer services and there were lengthy discussions with the Metropolitan District Commission about the possibiliy of membership. Nothing ultimately came of these talks, and as of 2013, South Windsor is still not a member of the MDC.
