Edina sewer & Hennepin County programs

Hennepin County well sealing cost-share + point-of-sale septic compliance — the details Edina homeowners actually need

Many Edina homes are on municipal sanitary sewer, but the county also runs important programs for legacy well properties and homes with septic systems — especially relevant when you’re buying, selling, or refinancing.

Hennepin County covers 75% / $2,000 of well sealing costs, requires a 5-year compliance certificate and 3-year inspection report, and maintains 2,200+ mi of county roadway.

Local sewer authority

Who handles what in Edina

Sewer service in Edina is handled by MCES (Metropolitan Council Environmental Services). Here is who to call for what, plus the current ordinances that affect Edina homeowners.

Edina Public Works Department

Homeowner vs. city responsibility

Private property owners are responsible for maintenance and repair of sanitary sewer components from their property up to and including the connection to the public system (City Code §28-91).

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

Edina is on the Metropolitan Council's I&I grant-eligible cities list and has participated in multiple MCES I&I mitigation/grant cycles (2012, 2014, 2017); 2016 hydraulic model recalibration estimated roughly 25% of peak wastewater flow from I&I. No single standalone city 'I&I ordinance' page was found; details come from Met Council program documentation referencing Edina.

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.

Sump pump ordinance

City requires a utility connection permit to drain sump pump water to the storm sewer under the Sump Pump Discharge Connection Policy; general sump pump guidance published separately by Public Works.

Backwater valve

Not mandatory citywide. The city 'recommends' a sanitary sewer backflow prevention device for all homes (not required), requires a permit to install one, estimates cost at $135-$1,000, and recommends annual inspection.

📍 Local construction update

West 72nd Street reconstruction replaces sanitary sewer and watermain through Cornelia

What's happening in Edina right now

The West 72nd Street Improvements project began construction the week of July 7, 2026, rebuilding the corridor between France Avenue and Cornelia Drive through the South Cornelia and Lake Edina neighborhoods. Contractor Ryan Contracting is working through three phases — Cornelia Drive to Gloucester Avenue, Gloucester to France, and the France Avenue intersection — replacing the sanitary sewer and watermain, adding spot storm sewer replacement, narrowing the roadway, and adding an 8-foot sidewalk. The work is expected to be substantially complete this fall, with minor touch-up in spring 2027. This is the first segment of the city's broader South Trunk Sanitary Sewer Improvements program, a phased effort running 2026-2030, which closed West 72nd Street from Lynmar Lane to Oaklawn Avenue starting July 8.

What this means for your drains

A full sanitary sewer and watermain replacement on a 1950s-60s corridor touches nearly every lateral connection along the way.

  • Direct lateral disturbance at the main — when the city replaces the sanitary sewer main itself, every private lateral tying into it along West 72nd Street gets exposed or reconnected, and that connection point is where offsets and leaks tend to show up later
  • Clay pipe age in South Cornelia and Lake Edina — homes in this part of Edina were largely built in the 1950s and 60s on clay tile laterals, which are already prone to root intrusion and joint separation before any construction begins
  • Multi-year phased work ahead — because the South Trunk Sanitary Sewer program runs through 2030, homes near this corridor will see repeated rounds of nearby excavation over the next several years, not just this one season
If you're near West 72nd Street or South Cornelia

With the France-to-Cornelia segment active now and more phases planned through 2030, getting a documented baseline this fall — before winter freeze — is worth doing while the work is fresh. We provide the inspection video on a USB stick you keep.

Call 612-382-7397 or book a camera inspection.
