$750,000 in city sewer lining + Dakota County well and septic programs Burnsville homeowners can access
Burnsville’s 2025 Capital Improvement Plan budgets $750,000 for vitrified clay pipe sanitary sewer lining, and the city’s North River Hills sanitary sewer lining project ran May–September 2026. The city publishes standardized design details for every kind of sewer repair — service replacement, riser, clean-out, manhole, spot replacement — giving homeowners a technical reference for what their contractor should be doing.
Burnsville has budgeted $750,000 for CIP sewer lining alongside a 7% sewer rate increase, plus a $200 irrigation rebate, and publishes 9 standardized details for sewer repairs.

North River Hills watermain replacement and I-35W bridge work both underway
What's happening in Burnsville right now
Burnsville is rehabilitating the sanitary sewer main line and replacing aging watermain infrastructure in the North River Hills neighborhood, with roadway and storm sewer work running May through October 2026; crews began setting up temporary above-ground water service in July ahead of switching over the permanent main (North River Hills Neighborhood Organization). MnDOT's $71.5 million I-35W resurfacing and bridge project between Cliff Road and the I-35/I-35E/I-35W split continues through October 2026, with Cliff Road under I-35W closed through October and Highway 13 reduced to one lane while crews rebuild bridges and add drainage (MnDOT). The city's broader 2026 Street Improvement Projects are also underway, running May through October with a November 15 assessment pre-payment deadline (City of Burnsville).
What this means for your drains
Watermain replacement paired with a major interstate rebuild is a heavier combination than most Burnsville streets see in a given year.
- Temporary water service during the North River Hills switch — running a temporary above-ground system while the old watermain is cut out and the new one is tested and connected means service interruptions and pressure changes; homes in the project area should watch for sediment or discoloration when service switches back
- 1970s-80s cast iron near the excavation — North River Hills and the surrounding Burnsville neighborhoods built in that era have cast iron or early PVC laterals that can shift or crack when a trench opens nearby for new watermain and sanitary work, with symptoms showing up as slow drains well after the crews move on
- Vibration and runoff from the I-35W corridor — heavy equipment and truck traffic rebuilding bridges at Cliff Road, Highway 13, and Burnsville Parkway sends vibration into nearby streets, and the new drainage improvements on I-35W change where stormwater sheets off toward adjacent properties
If you're in North River Hills or along the Cliff Road/Highway 13 corridor near I-35W, this is a good year for a camera inspection before winter — we provide the video on a USB stick so you have your own record of the line's condition.
Call 612-382-7397 or book a camera inspection.
