    Infrastructure

    Commitment to Infrastructure

    Every year, Norfolk County upgrades its public infrastructure to ensure that industrial, commercial, agricultural, residential and institutional clients are best served. In 2015, the municipality pledged $50 million in investment including the Port Dover wastewater operations upgrades, Port Dover street reconstruction, rural road resurfacing, and the Delhi water and wastewater plant upgrades.

    Utilities & High-speed Communications

    Norfolk County operates water and wastewater treatment facilities in Simcoe, Port Dover, Waterford, Delhi and Port Rowan. Upgrades are underway.

    Hydro One provides electricity in Norfolk County.

    Union Gas provides natural gas to businesses and homes in Norfolk County.

    Norfolk County is a partner in the SWIFT initiative to bring enhanced broadband communication infrastructure to our area of southwestern Ontario. Bell, Rogers, TELUS, Koodo and Fido provide 4G LTE and HSPA+ mobile coverage in most areas of Norfolk County. Topographical anomalies and forest cover occasionally interrupt wireless service. Kwic, Execulink, Eastlink and other cable and internet companies provide Norfolk County with high-speed communications.

    Roads

    Norfolk County is serviced by a well-maintained network of municipal and provincial highways providing excellent access for industries to Southwestern Ontario and Northeastern United States. County Highways 3, 6, 24 and 59 connect you conveniently to the provincial road system in less than 30 minutes.

    Public Transit

    Ride Norfolk is the public transit system serving Norfolk County, including the communities of Simcoe, Delhi, Waterford, Port Dover and Port Rowan. Norfolk County Council provided financial support to establish and implement this cooperative rural transportation initiative.
