City Utilities System

The City of Ramsey's water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems are categorized as utility systems. These utility systems are the foundation of the City's infrastructure. It includes utility equipment such as the City's water distribution system (water mains, pipes, and towers) and its sanitary sewer and storm sewer pipes including ditches.

Maintaining this infrastructure is a continuous process. Old and worn materials must be replaced and new technology incorporated to ensure a high level of utility service at the lowest possible cost.

The cost of maintaining a City's utility system is covered by utility fees, not property taxes. When the City of Ramsey resident pays their utility bill, part of that money is used for ongoing repairs and updates to the respective utility system. All residents pay for the storm drainage utility and only those residents who utilize City sanitary sewer and water pay for those respective utilities.
