A water bill is considered a lien against the property. Your real estate agent and/or title company should inform you of any outstanding water bills during the purchasing process, or you can call us at 763-494-6330 for that information. If these remedies do not work, the bill must be paid by the current homeowner.

Sewer charges are based upon water usage during the winter months. To calculate sewer use, the city reads your water meter during the winter months to determine a quarterly average.

However, if a customer's current actual water use is less than the winter average, then the sewer charge is based on actual water use.
