The WUC is a publically owned utility that owns and operates the water system in the City of Windsor. Organized in 1916 as The Border Cities Utilities Commission, it built Windor's first water treatment plant. In 1935 the name was changed to Windsor Utilities Commission.

It now supplies water to 60,000 residences and 8,000 businesses. All municipal water undergoes purification using an ozone process at the Albert H. Weeks Water Treatment plant, which produces approximately 40 million gallons of water per day and up to 55 million gallons of water in the summer.

The WUC building designed by David J. Cameron, one of Windsor's premier architects for over 40 years, was built in 1955 and has received heritage designation from the City of Windsor.
