Water Turn On

To get your water service turned on, please call (651) 458-2807 one week before you move in. A meter reader will come out on the move date and take a final reading. The previous owner will be billed for water usage up until that time, and the current owner will be billed for the remaining usage for that billing cycle. There will be a one-time charge of $25.00 for setting up the new owner. This charge will be included on the first bill.
