The Town of Windsor’s Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project is nearing completion if you haven’t enrolled in the Town’s WaterSmart Customer Portal (WaterSmart) now is the time. To enroll visit: https://www.townofwindsor.com/1183/WaterSmart.

WaterSmart isn’t just for paying utility bills online, it provides customers with valuable resources to better understand their water use. By logging in, customers have options to view current and past bills, learn ways to manage water use, enroll in leak and bill alerts, view options and recommendations, and so much more. As the Town switches to the new AMI network, additional functionality is made available automatically on WaterSmart. 

Coming Soon! - The AMI / Interval Information in the Track and Billing Tabs in WaterSmart will help customers track and better understand where water is being used and how that water use will impact their bill. The Track and Billing Tabs will provide customers with the needed details to act quickly to eliminate potential high-water bills and the awareness to modify current watering practices. Customers will be able to navigate through the tabs to view:

• Hourly and daily usage, in conjunction with billed consumption.
• Comparisons of daily use to daily temperature and precipitation data.
• Predicted bill, based on bill-to-date interval consumption.
• Notice of potential leaks with date, amount, and when water usage started and stops.

Gentle Yoga Instructor, Retirement & Thank You Celebration

Clare dedicated 25 years of teaching gentle yoga to the community, providing calm, and peaceful energy that contributed to the health and wellness of a great number of individuals over the years. She was recognized by Town Council with a proclamation delivered to her by the mayor wishing her the best and thanking her for the contribution and healthy impact she has had on this community.

The Town of Windsor Police Department conducted a Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driver’s License (DL) checkpoint on December 30, on Old Redwood Highway. A total of 604 vehicles were screened resulting in 4 DUI arrests and 12 drivers cited/arrested for either being unlicensed or suspended/revoked driver licenses.

DUI/DL checkpoints have been shown to lower DUI deaths and injuries to deter those who might drive drunk or drugged impaired, to bring more awareness, and to encourage sober designated drivers. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers as well as the public. 

The Windsor Police Department is committed to increasing overall traffic safety and reducing the number of alcohol-related collisions. We will continue our efforts to locate and identify impaired drivers. Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 to $20,000 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

We would like to thank our law enforcement partners Petaluma Police Department, the Santa Rosa Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, and the California State Parks Rangers for their collaborative efforts and assistance. Funding for the DUI/DL Checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
