Westminster splits everyday services across more agencies than most cities: trash is a sanitary district, water is City Hall, fire is a county authority, and four school districts share the map. Start from your problem and call the right desk first.
Live in Midway City?
Emergencies are always 911
Midway City Sanitary District
Residential trash carts, bulky-item pickup, and sewer for Westminster and Midway City. A separate district — not City Hall.
City of Westminster Water Division
Drinking water and water billing come from the city itself — separate from the trash bill. Phone numbers are on the division's page.
Westminster Police Department
Westminster has its own police department (not the OC Sheriff). Non-emergency and records numbers are on the department's contact page.
Orange County Fire Authority
Fire and emergency medical service is provided under contract by OCFA, not a city fire department.
Westminster School District (TK–8)
Most of the city's elementary and middle schools. Use its "Find My Child's School" boundary tool to confirm your school.
Huntington Beach Union High School District
High schools, including Westminster High.
OC Health Care Agency — Environmental Health
Health permits for food trucks and sidewalk food carts countywide; permit questions and food-safety complaints.
City of Westminster Public Works
City streets and local storm drains.
OC Public Works — Flood Programs
The big regional flood channels, including the East Garden Grove–Wintersburg Channel, are county facilities.
City of Westminster
Permits, code enforcement, parks, council business — start at the city's contact directory.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Westminster and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Garden Grove Unified School District
Serves portions of Westminster along the north and east edges, all grades.
Ocean View School District
K–8 near the Huntington Beach border — if you're close to that edge and unsure, ask the district.
