$15,000–$20,000 through the Chisago County Septic System Replacement Grant — and the diagnostics that come first

Chisago County covers $15,000–$20,000 in septic replacement grants for SSTS systems, funded by MPCA and administered by Chisago County.

πŸ“ Local construction update

CSAH 30 reconditioning through Harris + CR 10 (Stark Rd) prep work

What's happening in Harris right now

Chisago County has two projects touching Harris this year. CSAH 30 (Forest Blvd) reconditioning is running from Harris to Rush City β€” resurfacing, drainage work, and pavement repair along the corridor that ties Harris to the I-35 exit. And CR 10 (Stark Road) reconstruction β€” the segment from CSAH 8 (Cedarcrest Trail) to Interstate 35 in the Fish Lake Township/Harris area β€” has been shifted to the 2027 construction season, but private utility relocations and a soils correction near CR 60 (Deerwood Trail) are happening under traffic with flaggers in 2026 as prep work. Right-of-way acquisition is also underway.

What this means for your drains

Harris is a small town where most homes are on city sewer and some outlying properties are on septic, and the drainage from I-35 through Harris to Rush City runs alongside decades of old clay-tile lateral pipe. Here's what we typically see when nearby road and utility work happens:

  • Roots after resurfacing β€” trees along the corridor react to grading and drainage changes by pushing into cracked laterals
  • Basement floor drains that suddenly smell β€” vibration from CSAH 30 traffic during construction is enough to open old iron drain joints
  • Well-and-septic homes β€” if your floor drain, laundry line, or kitchen line is backing up, that's usually the drain plumbing between the fixture and the septic tank, not the tank itself. That's what we service.

If you're along Forest Blvd, Stark Rd, or the I-35 corridor and your line hasn't been camera-scoped in the last 5 years, this fall is a smart time to get eyes on it β€” before winter freeze makes camera work harder.
