Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program

The City was granted funds to award to property owners to correct the inflow and infiltration of clear water into the sanitary sewer system.  This water intrudes when pipe joints are off-set, cracked, or tree roots are getting in.  Rain water also enters the sanitary system through exterior drains usually at the bottom of exterior, below-grade stairs.  Home owners experiencing sanitary sewer issues are encouraged to call city staff at 651-792-7657 to discuss whether the grant would apply to your situation.  More information is attached along with the application form which describes the eligibility requirements. Contact City Administrator Heather Butkowski (heather.butkowski@lauderdalemn.org) with questions.
