Eagan The City of Eagan will be implementing a mandatory Inflow and Infiltration inspection program beginning in February. Properties subject to the program are located in three districts that were identified as the major Inflow & Infiltration problem areas. Roughly 2,600 properties will be subject to these inspections which the City expects will be completed within one year. The sewer service inspection itself will not have a cost to the property owner. However, if the inspection identifies any issues, a follow up "Corrective Work Order" will be sent to the property owner requiring repair to be completed within 60 days. If the property owner does not schedule an inspection upon receiving a letter from the city to do so, or if the property owner does not complete the necessary repairs within 60 days of receiving the Corrective Work Order, the property owner's Utility Bill will have a $150 surcharge per month of non-compliance until a Certificate of Compliance is issued by the City. In the case of non-compliance, the property owner will be responsible for paying for 50% of the corrective work in addition to the City Permit fee of $50.50. The City of Eagan will pay for the remaining 50% of the cost of repair. For property owners who need financing, the City will spread the cost of repair as a special assessment on the property tax for up to five years at 4% interest.
