Water and Sewer Disconnection Ordinance

The City Council passed an Ordinance at its December 12, 2006 Council meeting regarding water and sewer discontinued service.

Highlights of the ordinance are:

The City may shut off sewer or water service when: A) the charge for such service, or any other financial obligation imposed on the present or former owner or occupant of the premises served is unpaid for 60 days or two billing cycles and in default; or B) failure of the property owner or occupant to implement and maintain within 30 days all sanitary sewer pretreatment requirements ordered by the City’s Public Works Director following the discharge of 1) a prohibited substance into the City’s sanitary sewer system, or 2) prohibited levels of permitted substances such as PH, BOD, TSS in violation of City ordinance into the City’s sanitary sewer system.

Watering Ban

The City of Rockford enforces a odd – even year round watering ban. The odd – even system works as follows

  • If your house number is 6000 (even number) you will water on  the on the 2nd & 4th, etc.
  • If your house number is 6001 (odd number) you will water on the 1st & 3rd, etc.

The University of Minnesota’s Horticulturist Department has stated that sod can be watered every other day and an established lawn only needs one inch of water per week.  Grass seed however, does need to be watered every day.  If you have grass seed planted you may contact the Public Works Department at 763 477-4346, to be placed on a waiver list.

The Wright County Sheriff’s Department enforces this ban.

Wellhead Protection Plan

The city has established a wellhead protection plan to protect the city’s drinking water.  We have been working on the plan for many years along with our neighbors and the Minnesota Department of Health. A brochure has been produced for residents regarding your drinking water  which has some great information.  Click here for brochure.
