Local sewer authority

Who handles what in Bloomington

Sewer service in Bloomington is handled by MCES (Metropolitan Council Environmental Services) — wastewater flows to the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant in Eagan. Here is who to call for what, plus the current ordinances that affect Bloomington homeowners.

Bloomington Public Works Department / Utilities Division

Homeowner vs. city responsibility

Property owner is responsible for initiating any repair or maintenance of their sewer service line; the city assists with locating information/history but does not perform the work. City Code §11.33 states each owner is responsible for maintaining, cleaning, repairing, and replacing the sewer lateral from the house to the sewer main.

If you have a backup and are not sure whether it is on your side or the city's, we can put a camera down and confirm before anyone digs.

Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) rules

Bloomington is on the Metropolitan Council I&I grant-eligible cities list. Sewer Use Ordinance §11.31 prohibits discharge of storm/ground/roof/surface/unpolluted drainage water into the public sanitary sewer and prohibits connecting roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, or areaway drains to a building drain tied to the sanitary sewer.

If your city is running an I&I inspection, we can camera your sewer line, document the condition, and give you a report that satisfies municipal review.

Point-of-sale inspection

Time-of-Sale (TOS) Housing Inspection Program in effect since August 1995, with an updated ordinance/energy disclosure requirement effective April 1, 2022. Applies to single/two-family homes, condos, townhomes, and mobile homes (not multi-family rental buildings over 4 units). Certificate valid 1 year; must be displayed at the property while for sale and a copy submitted to the city within 10 days. Fee is set by an independent city-approved evaluator, not a flat city fee.

Selling or buying? Get the required inspection scoped and documented before closing.

Sump pump ordinance

Functional prohibition via Sewer Use Ordinance §11.31 (clearwater/stormwater discharge to sanitary sewer prohibited) plus TOS hazardous-items checklist requiring sump pumps be on permanent wiring, not extension cords.
