Who handles what in Richfield

Sewer service in Richfield is handled by MCES (Metropolitan Council Environmental Services) — wastewater flows to a treatment plant in St. Here is who to call for what, plus the current ordinances that affect Richfield homeowners.

Richfield 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

Richfield participates in the regional Met Council I&I mitigation framework (all MCES member communities are required to have I&I mitigation plans as part of their comprehensive sewer plan); no standalone Richfield-specific I&I ordinance page or private-property grant program was found in this research pass.

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

City of Richfield Point of Sale Inspection, in effect since a 1989 ordinance (Section 408.01), applies to all single-family and two-family homes (including condos) transferring title after October 1, 1990. A Certificate of Housing Maintenance is required before closing. Fees include 1 initial inspection and 1 re-inspection: $190 single-family, $270 two-family, $140 condominium. Contact 612-861-9882.

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