Utility Billing

Every home and business has a water meter to measure the amount of water used by a property which is used to calculate a monthly utility bill. Meters can be located in various locations throughout a home or business, but generally will be located in the laundry room or furnace areas. Questions related to sewer and water utility billing can be directed to city Finance staff at 651-792-7814.

Each year, the City of Arden Hills tests the drinking water and publishes the results of those tests.

A print version is available upon request. Please call 651-792-7800.

Water Conservation at Home

  1. Don’t flush trash down the toilet. Five to seven gallons of water is wasted every time you flush a cigarette butt, facial tissue or other small bit of trash.
  2. Check your toilets, faucets and pipes for leaks regularly. EyeonWater makes this easy for residents!
  3. Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators.
  4. Use your water meter to check for hidden water leaks.
  5. Insulate your water pipes.
  6. Take shorter showers. The recommended time is 5 minutes.
  7. Shut off the water while brushing your teeth, only run it when necessary for rinsing or other use.
  8. Only wash clothes and run the dishwasher when there is a full load.
  9. When washing dishes by hand, fill the sink up with hot water instead of leaving the faucet running.
