Utility Permits (Plumbing Permits)
For establishing new connections to the City's sewer and water system.
- All work done in the right-of-way also requires a Right-of-Way/Utility Excavation Permit Application (from the Engineering Department).
- If it is necessary to close the street, you will also need to submit the Street Closing Permit Application (from the Police Department).
Residents: If work being done on utilities for your property will be causing damage to the street, there is a cap to the amount you will have to pay for street repairs.
Who can apply for the permit?
- Only a contractor with a Master Plumbers License (The City requires a hard copy of the Master Plumbers License and the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry Bond & Insurance Certificate for the plumber pulling the permit. Check with City to see if one is already on file).
