Inflow and Infiltration (I and I Inspections) for Home Sales

ALL sewer work done within the PLAWCS Sewer District MUST be conducted by 1) a licensed PLAWCS approved contractor and/or 2) a MN licensed plumber TO BE DETERMINED by the PLAWCS engineer upon receipt of the project plans or I and I Inspection footage.

Step One: Complete the I and I Inspection

The I and I Inspection MUST be completed and passed PRIOR to closing on your property. 

​

If there are necessary repairs, they must be completed prior to the sale of the property. 

​

  1. Contact a MN Licensed Plumber or Midway Sewer to have your line inspected.

  2. Submit the drive and paperwork into the BLACK box labeled "PLAWCS" on the side of the Canosia Town Hall (4896 Midway Road.)

  3. Notify the Clerk at 218-260-5600 or plawcsclerk@gmail.com that you dropped the materials off.

​

The PLAWCS Engineer will review the files and the Clerk will issue a letter that states whether repairs or needed or if the property passes inspection. This process could take up to two weeks.

Step Two: Complete Any Necessary Repairs

You will receive a letter stating whether your line(s) are in compliance and or if there are repairs needed.
