A big thank you to residents who proactively contacted Wilton health officials upon receipt of a positive test result. This allowed for faster contact tracing.  Thank you to positive residents who, after being contacted by health officials, participated in contact tracing.  If you recently received a positive test result and were not contacted by Wilton or state health officials, please contact Wilton’s health department.  

Please, behave as if you have the virus and as if those around you do as well.

Transfer Station tickets can now be ordered and paid for online for pick up or mailing.  A link is found on the Transfer Station page of the Town website.  Free Transfer Station permits can also be ordered online.

In anticipation of increased demand for testing, Community Affairs Coordinator Sarah Gioffre is actively working to bring testing to Wilton.  

Please follow the four W’s: 

  • Watch your distance
  • Wear a mask/face covering when you can’t maintain 6 feet of distance whether indoors or outside
  • Walk, run or bike to the right in single file when passing another person on the NRVT, sidewalks and trails
  • Wash your hands
