Who is responsible for maintaining the wastewater line to my home?
A. The homeowner is responsible for any service line blockage or repairs between the home and the City wastewater main, including the connection at the wastewater main. Problems with the sanitary wastewater system (the system conveying wastewater from homes, businesses, and industries) should be reported to the City Public Works Water/Wastewater Department at 320-356-7509. Property owners should try to determine if the problem is with the public system in the street or the private service from the building to the street. If the problem is only with one fixture (sink or toilet), it is likely that the problem is in the private system and you should contact a plumber. if there is a problem with the entire building or home, you should check with adjacent buildings to see if they are having problems. If more than one building is having problems, the City system is the likely cause. Call 320-356-7922 for wastewater or water bill questions.
