Utility Billing
The Public Works Department provides water, storm drainage and sanitary
sewer service. Maintenance of the more than 200 miles of City-owned
streets and boulevards also rests with the Public Works Department.
Edina's municipally supplied water comes from 17 deep wells located
throughout the city. Lateral and trunk sanitary sewer mains are built and
maintained by the Public Works Department. Edina's sewage is transported
along trunk mains to the Pig's Eye treatment facility in St. Paul,
operated by the Metropolitan Council's Waste Control Commission.
Utility charges are based on a flat
minimum charge that guarantees the service and provides a minimum amount
of water. Consumption beyond that minimum amount of water or excess usage
is billed at a rate per 100 cubic feet. Edina water customers are billed
quarterly for amounts used and recorded by meters. Quarterly water bills
also include charges for sanitary sewer services and storm drainage.
