Sanitary Sewer Connection Information
The new sewer system is available for connection by property owners. The property owner is responsible for
the sewer connection between the service stub,at the property line,and the house. The sewer connection must
be completed by a licensed plumber, and the plumber must obtain a City sewer connection permit before
beginning work. The connection permit fee is $35.00. The City does not make recommendations on specific
plumbers to use for sewer connections.It may be prudent to obtain quotes from several contractors for this work
and to also verify contractor references and previous experience.

The Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) must be paid to the City before the plumber can be issued a sewer
Connection permit. This SAC fee is submitted by the City to the MCES(Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services) and helps finance the cost of the reserve capacity built into the MCES sewer interceptor system for
new sewer connections. The 2004 SAC fee is $1,350 and this fee has been increasing by $50 each year. The
SAC fee must be paid in the same year that the sewer connection is completed.
A pressure sewer system was installed in this neighborhood which requires the purchase, installation, and
maintenance of a grinder pump. Progressive cavity grinder pumps that are capable of pumping at a constant
flow rate over widely varying pumping head conditions are required for connection to this pressure sewer
system Environment One (El) brand pumps are the most common and widely used pumps for these types of
pressure sewer systems. The plumber will need to provide the City information on the type of pump used
when obtaining a sewer connection permit to ensure that the correct type of pump is installed.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact me at 952-249-4621 should you have any
questions.
