Shoreview sewer & Ramsey County programs

Ramsey County well sealing cost-share — and the city-level sewer programs Shoreview homeowners can tap

Ramsey County doesn’t run county-wide sanitary sewer utilities directly — that’s done at the city level. But the county does run a well sealing cost-share program that’s relevant to legacy-well properties in Shoreview and other northern Ramsey suburbs.

Ramsey County covers $750 per well and 50% reimbursement for well sealing, maintains a 250 mi county road system, and leaves sewer utilities to city-level departments.

Local sewer authority

Who handles what in Shoreview

Sewer service in Shoreview 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 Shoreview homeowners.

Shoreview 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.

📍 Local construction update

2026 Street Rehabilitation project rebuilds Richmond Ave-area streets and watermain

What's happening in Shoreview right now

The City of Shoreview's 2026 Street Rehabilitation project (City Project 26-04) went out to bid this spring and covers full-depth reclamation, curb and gutter replacement, and watermain gate valve rehabilitation on street segments in the Richmond Avenue neighborhood, with construction running through the fall. It's part of a bigger year: the city's 2026 Comprehensive Infrastructure Plan also funds $1.65 million in water system improvements, $100,000 for sanitary sewer lift stations, and a new watermain loop connecting Milton Street to Target Lane using trenchless boring. Separately, Ramsey County wrapped the Hodgson Road corridor reconstruction — a full sanitary sewer and watermain replacement — and is doing a mill-and-overlay on County Road I this year (Shoreview 2026 State of the City).

What this means for your drains

Shoreview's housing stock is mostly 1960s-80s cast iron and clay lateral pipe, now 45-65 years old — right in the window where these materials start failing. With this much ground disturbance happening at once, here's what we typically see:

  • Vibration-loosened joints near reclamation zones — full-depth reclamation on Richmond-area streets pulverizes the road base, and the vibration travels through the soil to nearby cast iron laterals, working joints loose over a season
  • Sags near watermain valve work — every gate valve rehab site is a small excavation next to your service line; backfill settles unevenly and can create a new low spot where paper and grease collect
  • Root pressure from Hodgson Road tree clearing — mature trees removed for the Hodgson Road/Gramsie Road roundabout leave decaying root systems nearby that create voids old clay pipe can settle into
If you're near Richmond Avenue or the Milton Street watermain loop

If you're in the 2026 street rehab area or along the new Milton-to-Target Lane watermain route, it's worth getting your lateral scoped before freeze-up — we provide the video on a USB stick so you have a record either way.
