Utility Billing Services
Water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer fees in Osseo pay operating, maintenance, and capital costs of these City owned services. These utilties are not operated for profit, and the fees only produce enough money to meet costs.
IMPORTANT: If you recently purchased your home, please contact City Hall to make sure there are no delinquent utility bills for your property. Although the previous owner will receive a final utility bill, utility bills are considered an obligation of the property and the final responsibility for payment lies with the current owner. By checking with City Hall, you may be able to assure yourself that the previous owner has paid his bill. To contact City Hall on utility questions, call 763.424.6752 or braaten@ci.osseo.mn.us.

Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer utility billing rates are based on quarterly water usage (winter quarter). The rates are:
The base charge is $45 per quarter, with the rate per 1,000 gallons beyond 15,000 gallons at $8.65.
Storm Sewer
Storm sewer utility rates are based on Residential Equivalency Factors. This is part of your quarterly utility bill from the City of Osseo. One REF represents the amount of runoff from a typical single family residential property, and single family properties less than 0.5 acres in size are assigned one REF. Larger single family properties and more intensively developed property, such as commercial or industrial, generate more runoff. These properties are assigned REFs based on the volume of runoff they generate.
The 2011 rate for storm water is $6.75 per REF per month.
