Local sewer authority

Who handles what in Roseville

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

Roseville Public Works Department, Utilities Division

Homeowner vs. city responsibility

Property owner responsible for the private portion of the sanitary sewer system; city checks the main line first when a problem is reported.

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

Named, active Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) program (cityofroseville.com/2762/Inflow-and-Infiltration-II) to comply with MCES directives; city received a $53,000 Metropolitan Council grant in 2025 for a Private I&I Sewer Service Grant, offering homeowners up to $10,000 for private sewer line repairs ($20,000 reserved for equity-guideline-eligible applicants, first-come-first-served). Roseville is also cited by the MN Pollution Control Agency as one of the state's model I&I program communities.

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 Inspection Program: staff verify sump pump presence/compliance during water meter maintenance visits to detect illegal sump pump, foundation drain, or roof leader connections to the sanitary sewer. Non-conforming discharges must be redirected (e.g., to storm sewer or ground).

📍 Local construction update

Hamline Avenue closed for full rehab — new water main coming, road closed through October

What's happening in Roseville right now

Hamline Avenue from County Road C to Snelling Ave is Roseville's biggest 2026 project. Phase 1 started June 22 and runs through October 29, with Phase 2 following in spring 2027. The scope includes full pavement rehab, a new pathway the full length, and a new water main from Josephine Road to Glenhill Road. Hamline is currently closed to through traffic between County Road C and Lydia Avenue. Businesses stay open via Snelling or Lexington detours. Roseville also approved a $20 million bond package (Series 2026A) to fund the 2026 street reconstruction, police department expansion, and city hall remodel. MnDOT is closing lanes on Snelling Avenue for a three-week storm-sewer drainage installation as part of the Roseville-Arden Hills corridor project.

What this means for your drains

The Hamline Avenue project is a full rehabilitation with a new water main — that's the exact combination that stresses older sewer laterals the most. Here's what typically shows up on homes near this kind of work:

  • New water main = disturbed lateral trench — every property between Josephine and Glenhill gets its water service line disturbed, and the sewer lateral running through the same yard sees ground movement it hasn't had in decades
  • Older Roseville clay pipe — the Hamline corridor includes 1950s and 60s housing stock with clay and cast iron sewer lines. Reclaimed pavement and driveway removal work shifts the soil around those laterals
  • Storm sewer drainage on Snelling — the MnDOT storm-sewer work near Snelling and County Road B changes how runoff moves; homes downstream can see backup patterns they didn't have before
If you're on Hamline, Snelling, or a side street off either

October is the right time for a camera inspection — after Phase 1 wraps but before the ground freezes. If Phase 2 in 2027 causes new damage, you have documented footage from before. We provide the video on a USB stick you keep.

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