About Waterford
Waterford is a shoreline town bounded on three sides by water. Long Island Sound is our south boundary, the Niantic River flows along our west boundary, and the Thames River flows by our east boundary. Waterford enjoys a Selectman-Representative Town Meeting form of government which is rooted in its New England traditions. The town government is composed of boards, commissions, and agencies, and is served by a variety of community groups.
The town most recently has become the retail hub of Southeastern CT with the opening of Waterford Commons, and an additional number of national retailers on the Rte 85 corridor near the Crystal Mall.
Town offices are open M-F, 8am to 4pm
