Water and sewer
Which pipes Bloomington owners look after
Bloomington's Utilities Division states that the city does not clean, maintain or repair individual sewer service connections. When you report a backup, it checks the main line in the street at no charge. Call 952-563-8777 on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., or 952-563-4905 after hours.
On frozen pipes, the city is direct: all costs of thawing pipes and keeping them from freezing again fall on the property owner. In severe cold it suggests running a pencil-thick stream from the faucet nearest where the water enters the house, telling the Utilities Division if you do, and keeping the sewer roof vent clear of snow.
