Who handles what in Maplewood

Sewer service in Maplewood is handled by MCES (Metropolitan Council Environmental Services) — confirmed on official MCES "Communities We Serve" list; some reside. Here is who to call for what, plus the current ordinances that affect Maplewood homeowners.

Maplewood Public Works Department

Homeowner vs. city responsibility

In most Minnesota cities, the property owner is responsible for the sewer service line from the house to the point where it connects to the city main. Rules vary by city — call Public Works if you are unsure whether a problem is on your side or theirs.

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

City Council approved an ordinance authorizing inspection of private property to ensure sump pumps are not contributing to I/I; Maplewood has been identified by MCES as among the 'top 10 communities' with high peak flows contributing to costly I&I. Program started March 2005.

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

Sump Pump Program (since 2005) — sump pumps must discharge outside the house, preferably to a grassed drainage swale; connection to a floor drain or internal system is flagged as improper and inspectable.
